Description:
It’s
1971 and the nation is at war. The intractable conflict escalates
in Vietnam while here at home the battle for public opinion rages.A
federal court blocks The New York Times from publishing
the top-secret history of US involvement in Vietnam. Washington
Post publisher Katharine Graham has a single day to decide
whether to print these Pentagon Papers. When
the Nixon administration closes in and charges treason, the fight
for a free press explodes. Geoffrey Cowan and Leroy Aarons' riveting
and suspenseful TOP SECRET: THE BATTLE FOR THE PENTAGON
PAPERS animates the frontline clash between the government’s
need for secrecy and the public’s right to know. TOP SECRET
is a triumphant reminder of the importance of
the continuing battle fought in the name of the First Amendment.
