Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour “Sy” Hersh presided over the inauguration of the New England Center for Investigative Reporting at Boston University, a non-profit, university-based organization dedicated to training the next generation of investigative reporters.

Founded by veteran Boston journalists Joe Bergantino and Maggie Mulvihill, the Center will train students at Boston University and inner-city high schools to research and produce investigative projects on local and regional issues.

Hersh’s accomplished, controversial career represents many of the Center’s ideals. Here is a selected Hersh bibliography:

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) – During the Vietnam War in 1969, Hersh exposes the My Lai massacre and cover-up, in which U.S. soldiers tortured and killed nearly 500 South Vietnamese civilians.

 
Against All Enemies

The Price of Power: Kissinger in the Nixon White House (1984) – Hersh documents the shallow political motives of Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger and reports on Kissinger’s secret bombing of Cambodia.

Against All Enemies: Gulf War Syndrome, the War Between America’s Ailing Veterans and Their Government (1998) – Hersh exposes the military cover-up of soldier contamination by chemical weapons during Desert Storm.
