Papers on the War Review: Great companion book - I actually ordered this book, "Papers on the War", by mistake, but I do not regret it. I intended to order Ellsberg's "Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers". I recommend to get the two books together. "Papers on the War" is sort of an executive summary of the most important and representative of the 7000 pages of the Pentagon Papers, which is of course the Top Secret report on the history of the Vietnam Wars from 1945 - 1968, commissioned by Robert S. McNamara. "Secrets: A Memoir..." reads like a history book and a political thriller, and traces Mr. Ellsberg's very personal journey from being a US Marine, to working for the Rand Corporation privately researching the Vietnam situation for the Defense Department, and then actually working for various government officials who reported directly to the President on Vietnam. He recreates his horror at concluding how his superiors (and he himself) knew the futility of the war effort, yet did not know how to extricate our country from the war, and continuously lied to the American people. Becoming a voice for the anti-war movement, he takes us through the 1968 and 1972 presidential elections, Watergate and the fall of Nixon. "Secrets: A Memoir..." is a primer on how power corrupts. It is also an important history of what may be the most important era in modern US history. Lessons abound for today. "Papers on the War" is a great companion book, and can be used as reference and footnotes to the "Secret..." Review: great book - a good book. read it and the pentagon papers also. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,774,243 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,244 in Political Intelligence #2,969 in Vietnam War History (Books) #17,881 in Asian History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (12) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.79 x 8.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1439193762 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1439193761 | | Item Weight | 14.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 312 pages | | Publication date | December 18, 2009 | | Publisher | Simon & Schuster | ## Images ![Papers on the War - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615rRrkknCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great companion book *by D***X on January 19, 2014* I actually ordered this book, "Papers on the War", by mistake, but I do not regret it.

My birth date came up very late. I knew I would not have to go, but I heard the groans and 'oh my gods' from the others who were not so lucky. We had National guard troops on our campus. One person lost a leg to a bayonet -- a minor wound to compared to those who went and came back as paraplegics or blind; the lucky ones were killed outright. Elsberg is our hero for telling the truth. That's all he did. He told the truth. In Albuquerque, when I voted in the Nixon election I raced home on my bicycle invigorated by having written in "Daniel Elsberg" on a brown strip of paper that scrolled from the voting machine. He was my candidate for President . Later I turned on the TV and waited for my vote to be announced -- and 1 vote for Daniel Elsberg. It wasn't. I didn't buy this book on amazon I bought it years before the internet or Amazon was even dreamed of. It still has a hallowed place on my book shelf and in my heart. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/100233205-papers-on-the-war](https://www.desertcart.be/products/100233205-papers-on-the-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
