Biografisk notat
Seymour Hersh has written for the New Yorker and the London Review of Books, as well as serving as a Washington correspondent for the New York Times. He established himself at the forefront of investigative journalism more than four decades ago with an exposé of the massacre in My Lai, Vietnam, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Since then he has uncovered stories such as Kissinger's role in extending the Vietnam War as well as the military torture regime at Abu Ghraib prison. He has won the George Polk prize five times, the National Magazine Award for Public Interest twice, the LA Times Book Prize, and the National Book Critics Circle Award.At long last, we can all decide for ourselves what we think of Hersh's story
The Week
One of America's greatest investigative reporters.
New York Times Magazine
It is the demands of state secrecy, their distressing effects on U.S. foreign policy - and ultimately their subversion of the democratic process - that unify the four essays in Seymour Hersh's<i> The Killing of Osama Bin Laden</i>.an explosive account.
L A Times
The Pulitzer Prize winner builds on his reputation as an iconic investigative journalist, skewering the conventional wisdom about the death of Osama bin Laden.
Kirkus
Quite simply, the greatest investigative journalist of his era
- David Remnick, Editor-in-Chief, New Yorker
Hersh's account is more plausible than the official version and more thought-provoking than the movie <i>Zero Dark Thirty</i>, which dramatised the hunt for Bin Laden... my bet is that he's got closer to the truth about Bin Laden's death than anyone else has yet.
Independent
I've long admired the skill and independence with which Hersh has brought important and concealed information to light
- Ahmed Rashid, New York Review of Books
This investigation, which began as a series of essays in the London Review of Books, has ignited a firestorm of controversy in the world media and still leaves many difficult questions unanswered concerning Barack Obama's presidency as well as the success of the international diplomacy conducted by presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
