Definición

  • Secret government study about America's involvement in the Vietnam War, the release of which sparked an unprecedented legal battle between the administration of President Richard Nixon and the national media (particularly the New York Times and the Washington Post). Commissioned in 1967 by then-Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, the Pentagon Papers examined the decision-making process behind U.S. participation in the war in Vietnam.
