Seymour Hersh
Seymour Hersh has uncovered some of the most important
news stories of our times, and in the process shown America
that power, and the exercising of that power on the
international stage, comes with a price. Nowhere is that
more true than in his most recent bestseller, Chain of
Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, which has
made him once again a subject of national and international
attention. Hersh's work has won more than a dozen major
journalism prizes, including the Pulitzer Prize for
International Reporting and four George Polk Awards. His
other books, including the best-selling expose of President
Kennedy, The Dark Side of Camelot, and The Price
of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House, have also
won major national awards and spent weeks on the bestseller
lists. Hersh's lectures draw audiences into the often
shadowy world where America's official foreign policy
stance meets the reality of politics and power in other
parts of the world. His cautionary tales reveal what
happens when governments seek to operate unhindered by the
checks and balances of our constitutional system. To find
out the real State of the Union, Seymour Hersh is the
person you have to hear. 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. Hersh has also won two
Investigative Reporters & Editors prizes, for the
Kissinger book, in 1983, and in 1992 for a study of
American foreign policy and the Israeli nuclear bomb
program, "The Samson Option." In 2004, Hersh won a National
Magazine Award for public interest for his three
pieces, "Lunch with the Chairman," "Selective
Intelligence," and "The Stovepipe."
