OCTOBER<br />

Seymour Hersh has been the most important, famous, and controversial journalist in the<br />

United States for the last forty years. From his exposé <strong>of</strong> the My Lai massacre in 1969 to<br />

his revelations about torture at Abu Ghraib prison in 2004, Hersh has consistently captured<br />

the public imagination, spurred policymakers to reform, and drawn the ire <strong>of</strong> presidents.<br />

From the streets <strong>of</strong> Chicago to the newsrooms <strong>of</strong> the most powerful newspapers and<br />

magazines in the United States, Seymour Hersh tells the story <strong>of</strong> this Pulitzer Prize–winning<br />

journalist and author. Robert Miraldi scrutinizes the scandals and national figures that have<br />

drawn Hersh’s attention, from My Lai to Watergate, from John F. Kennedy to Henry<br />

Kissinger.<br />

This first-ever biography captures a stunningly successful career <strong>of</strong> important exposés and<br />

outstanding accomplishments from a man whose unpredictable and quirky personality has<br />

turned him into an icon <strong>of</strong> American life and the unrivaled “scoop artist” <strong>of</strong> American<br />

journalism.<br />

ROBERT MIRALDI is an award-winning author, journalist, and columnist who has taught at the<br />

State <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> New York for 30 years. In 2003 his biography, The Pen Is Mightier: The<br />

and mass communication. He is the author <strong>of</strong> two books and editor <strong>of</strong> three others. In 1992 he was<br />

a Fulbright Scholar, lecturing in the Netherlands. His writing on the First Amendment has won<br />
