Lots of detail

I have to read this for a class, and while it is a bit heavy at times (jumbles of names/dates/facts always prove tricky reading for me) it's got a lot of great information. Of course the book only focuses on NYTimes coverage, but it's a great study for anyone interested in what really went on between the government and the media during Vietnam.
