Blinded by the Right: The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative

In a powerful and deeply personal memoir David Brock, the original right-wi ng scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservativ e movement and his painful break with it. David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The Amer ican Spectator as part of the infamous "Arkansas Project" triggered the cou rse of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clint on. Brock was at the center of the right-wing dirty tricks operation of the Gingrich era--and a true believer--until he could no longer deny that the political force he was advancing was built on little more than lies, hate, and hypocrisy. In Blinded By the Right, Brock, who came out of the closet at the height of his conservative renown, tells his riveting story from the beginning, givi ng us the first insider's view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called "the v ast right-wing conspiracy." Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula J ones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right's zeal for power created t he poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush's election . With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.
