[VIETNAM WAR]. The Pentagon Papers: The Defense Department History of United States Decisionmaking on Vietnam. The Senator Gravel Edition. Beacon Press, 1971-72. Likely first edition of this publication but with no printing history noted. The set includes the fifth volume of essays and the index, published in 1972, edited by Noam Chomsky and Howard Zinn. The books all remain fine and the dust jackets remain unclipped. Sight wear and a closed tear to the jacket of volume five. These famous volumes chronicle the United States’ involvement in Vietnam, including Lyndon B. Johnson’s systematic lies to the American people and Congress about the progress of the war effort.
