The Michigan Connection: Daniel Ellsberg's Legacy as the Pentagon Papers Leaker.

Daniel Ellsberg, the man who leaked the Pentagon Papers, a secret history of damning revelations leading up to the Vietnam War, has died at the age of 92. Ellsberg grew up in Michigan and attended Cranbrook Schools before earning a full academic scholarship to Harvard University. He served as an adviser to Defense Secretary Robert S. McNamara and worked for RAND Corp. studying game theory as it related to the possibility of nuclear war. Ellsberg continued to be a political activist for the rest of his life, speaking to groups and writing several books. He was awarded the Olof Palme Prize in 2018 for his "profound humanism and exceptional moral courage."
