Daniel Ellsberg (born April 7, 1931) is an American political activist, and former United States military analyst. While employed by the RAND Corporation, Ellsberg precipitated a national political controversy in 1971 when he released the Pentagon Papers, a top-secret Pentagon study of the U.S. government decision-making in relation to the Vietnam War, to The New York Times, The Washington Post and other newspapers. On January 3, 1973, Ellsberg was charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 along with other charges of theft and conspiracy, carrying a total maximum sentence of 115 years. Because of governmental misconduct and illegal evidence-gathering, and the defense by Leonard Boudin and Harvard Law School professor Charles Nesson, Judge William Matthew Byrne Jr. dismissed all charges against Ellsberg on May 11, 1973. Ellsberg was awarded the Right Livelihood Award in 2006. He is also known for having formulated an important example in decision theory, the Ellsberg paradox; for his extensive studies on nuclear weapons and nuclear policy; and for having voiced support for WikiLeaks, Chelsea Manning, and Edward Snowden. Ellsberg was awarded the 2018 Olof Palme Prize for his "profound humanism and exceptional moral courage. More

Annapolis: Naval Institute Press (Published in cooperation with the China Maritime Studies Institute--joint publication), 2007. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xvi, [2], 412, [2] pages. Table. Notes. Acronyms. About the Contributors. Index. Lyle J. Goldstein is Associate Professor in the Strategic Research Department of the Naval War College. His primary research interests encompass Chinese maritime development and nuclear strategy. One of the key concerns of naval strategists and planners today is the nature of the Chinese geostrategic challenge. Conceding that no one can know for certain China's intentions in terms of future conflict, the editors of this hot-topic book argue that the trajectory of Chinese nuclear propulsion for submarines may be one of the best single indicators of China's ambitions of global military power. Nuclear submarines, with their unparalleled survivability, remain ideal platforms for persistent operations in far-flung sea areas and offer an efficient means for China to project power. This collection of essays presents the latest thinking of leading experts on the emergence of a modern nuclear submarine fleet in China. Each contribution is packed with authoritative data and cogent analysis. The book has been compiled by four professors and analysts at the U.S. Naval War College who are co-founders of the college's recently established China Maritime Studies Institute. The editors believe that to ignore such possibilities would be the height of strategic folly and represent inexcusable negligence in terms of U.S. national defense. Anyone who is interested in the future of the U.S. Navy and the defense of the United States will find this book to be essential reading. This is the first book in the series "Studies in Chinese Maritime Development" More

Excerpts for a review posted on line: This is a Conservative interpretation of the Cold War. It is at times, a blistering, blustering attack on the Liberal ""establishment's"" foreign policy from Yalta to Saigon. The thesis: the Liberals have changed America's appeasement of Russian rulers and Communism in general. The Liberal conspirators--Dean Rusk, Kennedy, Johnson, et al. -- are selling America's security to the Communist dream of empire. More
