Pentagon Papers isa classified government history of American involvment in Vietnam.

In 1968, the American Secretary of State, Robert McNamara, commissioned a study analyzing the involvement of the United States in Southeast Asian nations such as Vietnam and Laos. The resulting 7,000 page document later became known as the “Pentagon Papers” when it was leaked to the New York Times in 1971. The release of these papers to the American media marked a major shift in American opinion about the involvement of the United States in numerous Southeast Asian conflicts, and the resulting legal challenges set several precedents.
