Daniel Ellsberg was the Pentagon Papers whistleblower whose decision to expose government lies about the Vietnam War changed American history. In this conversation with Current Affairs editor in chief Nathan J. Robinson, Michael Ellsberg, Jan R. Thomas, and Robert Ellsberg discuss Truth and Consequence, a new collection of Ellsberg's previously unpublished writings. They reflect on his thinking about nuclear war, conscience, patriotism, civil resistance, and why his ideas remain as relevant today as ever.
