Long before Wikileaks and social media, the journalist Drew Pearson exposed to public view information that public officials tried not to reveal.

Intelligence agents searched fruitlessly for his sources, yet rarely learned them. Drawing on Pearson's extensive correspondence, diaries, and oral histories, The Columnist reveals the mystery behind Pearson's leaks and the accuracy of his most controversial revelations.

Through his words and actions, Carter joined this broader debate regarding society’s obligation to Vietnam veterans. In A Debt of G...
