Basically, What are the most distinguishing differences between the History Journal book view (like those reviews that make for history related topic book) and those reviews in the New York Times.


Answer
Audience.

A Journal is written for students and professors who are studying history as an academic pursuit.

The New York Times writes for a general audience, perhaps a slightly savvier audience than most news papers, but they certainly don't expect the reader to have or obtain a degree in history.

That being said there could be finer differences if you were to compare 2 such reviews.

Where can I find the actual Pentagon Papers that the New York Times printed?

I need to see the actual newspaper article from The New York Times but am unable to find it. Does anyone have a link to the article?


Answer
Hope this helps, Daphne.

The link below will bring you to the full text of Neil Sheehan's introductory piece on the Pentagon Papers first published on the front page of the Sunday edition on 13 June 1971.

The entire study was published later in 1971 by Beacon Press in Boston. Books have also been published about the entire "Pentagon Papers" saga and the Nixon Administration's attempts to shut down American newspapers so the U.S. public would not know of the early misrepresentations by government.

I hope this answer helps you to get started in studying this important event in U.S. history.
