Summary:
"It is easier to delete digital records than to destroy books. This January, the State Department did just that when it republished on its website a volume about the Reagan administration — without 15 pages on the risk of inadvertent nuclear war sparked by a 1983 NATO exercise....Other historians agree that the Foreign Relations volumes are an irreplaceable tool for understanding the country’s past and present."
