Detailed Biography of Seymour Hersh
|
|
His special focus is, and has always been, the abuse of power in the name of national security. During the past year, the nation's most important journalist, Seymour Hersh. Broke the Abu Ghraib prison abuse story with articles published in the New Yorker Magazine. Won the Ono-Lennon United Nations Peace prize. Made two provocative appearances on the Jon Stewart Show. Won an unprecedented fifth George Polk Award for journalistic accomplishments. Has been interviewed repeatedly on CNN, ABC, NPR, NBC and other major broadcast networks. Won the Distinguished Contributions to Journalism Award from the National Press Foundation. Authored the best-selling "Chain of Command", about which the New York Times wrote: "the best book we are likely to have, this close to events, about why the United States went from leading an international coalition united in horror at the attacks of 9/11, to fighting alone in Iraq and, in Abu Ghraib, to violating the very human rights it said it had come to restore". Hersh's journalism and publishing prizes include the Pulitzer Prize, four previous George Polk Awards, and more than a dozen other prizes for investigative reporting. His ground-breaking reports include many that are landmark events in American journalism: the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, the CIA's bombing of Cambodia, Henry Kissinger's wiretapping of his own staff, the CIA's efforts against Chile's assassinated President, Salvador Allende and the torture of Iraqi prisoners in Abu Ghraib.
Hersh began his newspaper career as a police reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago. He served in the Army and worked for a suburban newspaper and then for UPI and AP until late 1967, when he joined the Presidential campaign of Eugene J. McCarthy as speech writer and press secretary. Hersh reported on the Vietnam War and in 1969 exposed the My Lai Massacre. As a result of this work Hersh received the Pulitzer Prize for international reporting. Hersh also published two books on the subject, My Lai 4: A Report On The Massacre And Its Aftermath (1970) and Cover-up: The Army's Secret Investigation Of The Massacre At My Lai 4 (1972). He joined the New York Times in 1972, working in Washington and New York. He left the paper in 1979 and has been a freelance writer since, with two six-month returns on special assignment to the Times' Washington bureau.
A book on Henry Kissinger, The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House, appeared in 1983. Other books by Hersh include: The Target Is Destroyed: What Really Happened To Flight 007 And What America Knew About It (1986) and The Samson Option: Israel's Nuclear Arsenal And American Foreign Policy (1991).
Hersh also wrote a book on John F. Kennedy. His book, The Dark Side of Camelot (1997), looked at his relationship with Lyndon B. Johnson and the scandals surrounding Kennedy. His book prizes include the 1983 National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times award for biography and a second Sidney Hillman award for The Price of Power. Mr. Hersh has also won two Investigative Reporters & Editors prizes, for the Kissinger book in 1983 and in 1992 for The Samson Option.
His most recent books are Against All Enemies: Gulf War Syndrome: The War Between America's Ailing Veterans And Their Government (1998) and Chain of Command: The Road From 9/11 To Abu Ghraib (2004).
