Fascinating and highly readable

This book was written for young teens and older. I read it as an adult and was spell-bound by the story of the Pentagon papers, the unfolding of the Vietnam war, and the unraveling of Nixon's presidency. Told from many first-person perspectives, sometimes it reads like a spy-novel. Great introduction to this complicated part of US history.
