    Chain of Command: The Road from 9/11 to Abu Ghraib, Hörbuch, Digital, 442min
    Since September 11, 2001, Seymour M. Hersh has riveted readers, and outraged the Bush Administration, with his stories in The New Yorker magazine, including his breakthrough pieces on the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. Now, in Chain of Command, he brings together this reporting, along with new revelations, to answer the critical question of the last three years: how did America get from the clear morning when hijacked airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon to a divisive and dirty war in Iraq? Hersh established himself at the forefront of investigative journalism 35 years ago when he broke the news of the massacre in My Lai, Vietnam, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize. Ever since, he's challenged America's power elite by publishing the stories that others can't or won't tell. In Chain of Command, Hersh takes an unflinching look behind the public story of President Bush's "war on terror" and into the lies and obsessions that led America into Iraq. With an introduction by The New Yorker's editor, David Remnick, Chain of Command is a devastating portrait of an administration blinded by ideology and of a President whose decisions have made the world a more dangerous place for America.

    Don't Suck, Don't Die: Giving Up Vic Chesnutt , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 280min
    Friend, asshole, angel, mutant, singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt "came along and made us gross and broken people seem...I dunno, cooler, I guess." A quadriplegic who could play only simple chords on his guitar, Chesnutt recorded 17 critically acclaimed albums before his death in 2009, including About to Choke, North Star Deserter, and At the Cut. In 2006, NPR placed him in the top five of the 10 best living songwriters, along with Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Paul McCartney, and Bruce Springsteen. Chesnutt's songs have also been covered by many prominent artists, including Madonna, the Smashing Pumpkins, R.E.M., Sparklehorse, Fugazi, and Neutral Milk Hotel. Kristin Hersh toured with Chesnutt for nearly a decade and they became close friends, bonding over a love of songwriting and mutual struggles with mental health. In Don't Suck, Don't Die, she describes many seemingly small moments they shared, their free-ranging conversations, and his tragic death. More memoir than biography, Hersh's book plumbs the sources of Chesnutt's pain and creativity more deeply than any conventional account of his life and recordings ever could. Chesnutt was difficult to understand and frequently difficult to be with, but, as Hersh reveals him, he was also wickedly funny and painfully perceptive. This intimate memoir is essential listening for anyone interested in the music or the artist. Cover photo by Danny Clinch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kristin Hersh.

    Reporter
    Der Aufdecker der US-Nation ruft zum UngehorsamSind die goldenen Zeiten des Journalismus vorüber? Zeitungsreporter konkurrieren mit den Rund-um-die-Uhr-Nachrichten der Kabelsender, Berichte werden nur oberflächlich recherchiert und vorschnell veröffentlicht, weil die Zeit fehlt, an einer sich entwickelnden Story zu arbeiten. Niemand will sich mit investigativem Journalismus die Finger verbrennen: zu teuer, zu zeitintensiv, zu unsicher die Ergebnisse - und zu anfällig für Klagen. »Ich war immer der Ansicht, einer Zeitung ginge es darum, die Wahrheit herauszufinden, und nicht lediglich über die Diskussionen darüber zu berichten.« Seymour M. Hersh gilt als DER Enthüllungsjournalist in den USA. Nun erscheint eine Sammlung seiner wichtigsten Reportagen - aus heutiger Sicht von ihm selbst kommentiert. Ein Credo für unbestechlichen, mutigen Journalismus und ein Aufruf an die junge Generation von Reportern, sich in der heutigen Zeitungswelt zu behaupten. Qualitäts-Journalismus im Kampf gegen Fake News und Populismus Schwierige Stories, unangenehme Wahrheiten und kritische Fragen sind das Spezialgebiet von Seymour M. Hersh. Wie kein anderer Journalist verkörpert er den Inbegriff der »Vierten Macht im Staate«. In seinem Buch »Reporter« erzählt er, wie er arbeitet und gibt tiefe Einblicke in seine großen Reportagen: über Kissinger, die Mafia-Connections der Kennedys bis zu den Hintergründen der Massaker von Vietnam.- Persönliche Einblicke in Leben und Arbeit des berühmten Investigativ-Journalisten- Spannende Hintergrundinformationen und pointierte Anekdoten - Glühendes Bekenntnis zur Pressefreiheit - Pflichtlektüre für alle Journalismus-Studenten und angehende Reporter»Es gab noch nie einen Präsidenten, der mich leiden konnte. Ich nehme das als Kompliment.«Seymour M. Hersh blickt zurück auf eine bewegte Karriere und nimmt die heutige chaotische und unstrukturierte Welt des Journalismus kritisch in den Blick. Unbestechlich, wachsam und unbequem - ein Appell an die Medienwelt und alle, die sie gestalten.
