The latest book on the side panel [as it was once before] is a 2004 book discussing the Pentagon Papers with various interviews with participants included. We get a discussion of their creation [the content is touched upon, but a fuller summary might have been useful], Nixon's reaction, legal discussion (including since then) and rebuttal of claims of threat to national security. [Free speech includes speech that might be dangerous though.] A good short companion read to The Post movie with various "hey, that was in the movie" moments. ETA: Might check out a longer examination by someone interviewed here but this Verdict essay summarizes the legal issues. Movie does provide a sort of behind the scenes look.
