His career, marked by a relentless pursuit of truth, began in the late 1950s, with his early work focusing on local police reporting before he ascended to national and international significance.

Career Highlights
  • Early Breakthrough: Hersh’s first major scoop came in 1969 with the exposure of the My Lai Massacre, a revelation that shocked the nation and won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1970. This event set the tone for his career, focusing on military and governmental overreach.
  • Watergate and Beyond: During the 1970s, Hersh covered the Watergate scandal for The New York Times, though much of the public credit went to Woodward and Bernstein. His work on this period culminated in “The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House,” which criticized Henry Kissinger’s foreign policy decisions.
  • Later Investigations: Hersh’s career continued with exposés on the Abu Ghraib prison scandal, the clandestine bombing of Cambodia, and controversial reports on the death of Osama bin Laden and the Syrian chemical weapons attack. His reporting often challenged official narratives, earning him both acclaim and criticism.
  • Recent Controversies: In recent years, Hersh has ventured into more contentious territory, with reports like the Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, which have stirred debate over his methods and sources, leading some to label him a conspiracy theorist.


    • Current Status: As of 2024, Hersh continues to write, often for platforms like the London Review of Books, maintaining his role as a critic of government secrecy and overreach. His work remains influential, even as it provokes strong reactions, reflecting the contentious nature of truth in the modern information age.
