Explanation:

Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst, leaked the Pentagon Papers—classified documents that detailed the U.S. government's secret expansion of the Vietnam War and misleading statements to the public and Congress. The other options are incorrect: he was not a presidential foreign policy advisor, a Washington Post journalist (that role relates to Watergate figures like Bob Woodward), a best-selling war historian in this context, or an Army commander in Vietnam.

Answer:

He compiled papers that revealed information about the government's role in the war effort.
