Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh has helped expose some of the biggest cover-ups of our time, from My Lai to Abu Ghraib. His work is a bracing reminder of the power of the press to challenge corruption and to hold to account those who knowingly abuse power. New Yorker editor David Remnick calls him, "quite simply, the greatest investigative journalist of his era."

From the covert bombing of Cambodia, to Henry Kissinger's authorization of the wiretapping of White House aides and newsmen, to the Bush administration's use of "selective intelligence" to justify the war in Iraq -- Hersh has often been first to break the most crucial stories of the modern era.

In addition to his Pulitzer Prize, Hersh has won the National Book Critics Awards and five George Polk Awards. His bestselling books include The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House, The Dark Side of Camelot, and, most recently, Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib.
