Establishing a reputation as one of America’s toughest investigative reporters with his Pulitzer Prize-winning exposé of the massacre in My Lai during the Vietnam War, Seymour Hersh has since uncovered a slew of scandals, secrets, and half-truths that have shaken the foundations of the D.C. power structure. For his stories about Kissinger’s role in the Nixon administration, our country’s hidden chemical and biological arsenal, the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo, Gulf War Syndrome, and host of other topics, he has won five George Polk prizes, two National Magazine Awards for Public Interest, and the National Book Critics Circle Award, among many other honors. In The Killing of Osama Bin Laden, Hersh investigates lies told to the public about the raid on the 9/11 mastermind’s compound and its far-reaching political legacy.
