A new Seymour Hersh book planned:
The details of the deal were not disclosed, but the book, to be titled “Chain of Command” is expected to be published in the fall.
“Sy Hersh has been writing big, important stories for more than 30 years, and we see this book as another milestone in a great career, “HarperCollins CEO Jane Friedman said in a statement.
Executive Editor David Hirshey, who will edit the book, said he had pushed Hersh about doing a book for the past four years, but that Hersh had said he too busy with his work for The New Yorker to commit to anything.
“I sensed a real seismic shift in his thinking after Abu Ghraib,” Hirshey said. “He has become a man on a mission and feels that a book that holds the Bush administration accountable for its intelligence failures and human rights violations in Iraq could have a significant impact on the upcoming elections.”
So, it will be out before the election – I’m sure that news made Duhbya’s day. I wonder when Tenet will announce his book.
