My Times: A Memoir of Dissent

In the critical look at the New York Times from the inside, 24-year-veteran editor, foreign correspondent and investigative reporter John Hess offers his take on some of the most influential people in journalism of the last fifty years, including Cyrus Sulzberger, A.M. Rosenthal, Seymour Hersh, David Halverstam, Scotty Reston, Max Frankel, Anthony Lewis, Hodding Carter, Homer Bigart and more. He offers shocking revelations of truths intentionally buried alongside his own affectionate account of various campaigns for justice which found a home in the paper’s pages.
