Listen to a podcast for this event.
From My Lai to Abu Ghraib, the dark side of JFK to the backdoor dealings of Tricky Dick. Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and author Seymour Hersh has covered it all and now he'll share his stories at the Orlando Public Library. Bright House Networks presents An Evening with the Author, a night of personal narrative with Seymour Hersh on Friday, September 19, 2008 at 7 p.m. Hersh will cover his experiences stemming from generations of covering human conflicts, politics and social injustices.
Hersh's groundbreaking work on the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam and the Abu Ghraib scandal cemented his name as one of the most influential reporters of the last half-century. He has published seven books and received numerous prestigious awards for his writings, including a Pulitzer Prize for his work on the My Lai Massacre. After stints with United Press International, the Associated Press and The New York Times, Hersh spent the rest of his career as a freelance journalist and contributor for The New Yorker.
Most recently, Hersh’s articles in The New Yorker have probed the underside of the Iraq war, the looming threat of war with Iran, and the military quagmire caused by these conflicts. Hersh keeps a watchful eye on the powers that be and continues his life's work of uncovering the abuse of power in the name of national security.
Question-and-answer session will follow program.
Tickets purchased before September 13 will be mailed. After that, tickets will be held at the door for pick-up the night of the event.
All proceeds benefit the Orange County Library System.
