Famous Trials series.
Although the subject isn't as accessible as others this series has covered, this look at the trial over the government's right to censor a New York Times story on the origins of the Vietnam War is balanced and comprehensive. The history of wartime censorship, important players in the trial, and consequences of the Supreme Court's ruling for the Times are addressed. Black-and-white photos illustrate the book. Bib., ind.
