As a consultant to the Department of Defense and the White House, Daniel Ellsberg, senior fellow of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation and subject of the film “The Most Dangerous Man in America: Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers”, drafted Secretary Robert McNamara's plans for nuclear war. He shares that story in his new book, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner (Bloomsbury USA, 2017).
