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 />
