This is a fitting moment-a time of political upheaval much like the one in which Ellsberg first made his mark-to commemorate this remarkable and neglected American hero…. The self-portrait that emerges from the essays and reflections in Truth and Consequence is of a man both brilliant and haunted.

Edward Wasserman, Mother Jones

A bracing moral perspective from the voluminous private notes and writings of Daniel Ellsberg… Truth and Consequence offers a glimpse of Ellsberg's courageous and eventful life… His message was clear: we are not merely drifting toward Armageddon, we are racing there.

The New York Review of Books

Fascinating… I found dozens of thoughts in Truth and Consequence that speak to our political moment. In many aspects Ellsberg was prophetic… [he] possessed the kind of moral clarity and courage that seems almost entirely absent among today's political, corporate, and social elites; when the right thing to do carries little to no chance of reward, and a big chance of loss or punishment, far too many retreat into comfortable silence and profitable acquiescence.

Brian Tanguay, California Review of Books

A wonderful window into the mind and heart of a great American hero, a compassionate human being, and finally a wise and thoughtful teacher.

Massachusetts Review

A strikingly personal collection, one that shows how Ellsberg's courage, commitment, and even his moral clarity derived from traumatic events in his past… Truth and Consequence is loaded with such insights, bearing witness to Ellsberg's deep compassion wrought from tragedy. His sagacity, determination, and example will long endure.

Bill Lueders, The Progressive

Truly accomplished… a magnificently edited book that offers a window into Dan's innermost thoughts over a 50-year period… Dan was a gifted prose writer…. [he] lived his life governed by a passionate love of the world that asked everything of himself, a passion which has helped inspire many others. This year, amazingly, we have seen millions in the streets protesting for truth and justice. This book captures Dan's passion for that truth movement, more clearly than anything he ever published in his lifetime.
