Fascinating biography of Daniel Ellsburg. Ellsburg is famous for leaking government secrets about the Vietnam War to the American public. He believed it was worth breaking the law in order to make Americans aware of certain things the United States was doing in Vietnam. This fueled the anti-war movement and eventually led to the Watergate Scandal and the only resignation of a United States president. Issues regarding the public's right to know versus the government's desire to protect information continue to spark debate in our country.
