Seymour Myron “Sy” Hersh is an American Pulitzer Prize winning investigative journalist and author. He is a regular contributor to “The New Yorker” magazine.

His 1970 book “My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath” earned the Pulitzer Prize and the George Polk Award. He exposed the massacre in South Vietnam. Hersh brought it all out in the open and helped end the war as a result, because Americans realized that this incomprehensible conflict far away was making their boys act like Nazis.

In 1977, Hersh wrote about John F. Kennedy; “The Dark Side of Camelot”. “I think there are great stories to be written about this pretend government and this corporate world we now live in”, Hersh said. In 2004, Hersh published a series of articles which described the treatment of detainees by U.S. military police at Abu Ghraib, Iraq.

You will either love Hersh or you will hate him; you will not be passive.
