Journalist and author SEYMOUR HERSH visited the Center for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) in 2013 to discuss the breaking of the My Lai Massacre story on November 12, 1969. Hersh is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and contributor to both The New Yorker and the London Review of Books. Hersh wrote two books on the subject – My Lai 4: A Report on the Massacre and Its Aftermath (1970) and Cover-up: The Army’s Secret Investigation of the Massacre at My Lai 4 (1972). It was the massacre that turned many against the Vietnam War. Hersh found that U.S. soldiers had massacred hundreds of unarmed civilians in a small Vietnamese village.
