Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author, will discuss his most recent book, Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib , in which he lays out the chain of events from the September 11th attacks to the war in Iraq.

Hersh’s work became famous in 1969 when he exposed the My Lai massacre and its subsequent cover-up. As both a free-lance journalist and a writer for The New York Times and the Associated Press, Hersh has written controversial and groundbreaking reports on the C.IA’s bombing of Cambodia, Henry Kissinger’s wiretapping of his staff, the C.I.A’s operations against Chilean President Salvador Allende, and prison abuse in Abu Ghraib. Hersh currently contributes regularly to The New Yorker . In addition to his journalistic contributions, Hersh has published eight books.
