In a powerful and deeply personal memoir in the tradition of Arthur Koestler’s The God That Failed, David Brock, the original right-wing scandal reporter, chronicles his rise to the pinnacle of the conservative movement and his painful break with it.
David Brock pilloried Anita Hill in a bestseller. His reporting in The American Spectator as part of the infamous “Arkansas Project” triggered the course of events that led to the historic impeachment trial of President Clinton. 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, giving us the first insider’s view of what Hillary Rodham Clinton called “the vast right-wing conspiracy.” Whether dealing with the right-wing press, the richly endowed think tanks, Republican political operatives, or the Paula Jones case, Brock names names from Clarence Thomas on down, uncovers hidden links, and demonstrates how the Republican Right’s zeal for power created the poisonous political climate that culminated in George W. Bush’s election.
Now in paperback and with a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political memoir of our times.
Review:
"The book is consistently articulate and very funny from time to time. It undeniably holds the reader's interest. But it is also disconcerting in unintended ways. Brock brings a strange boastfulness even to passages in which he is supposedly raking himself over the coals, and he litters the book with derogatory comments about other men's appearances that have ambiguous relevance to the narrative at hand....BLINDED BY THE RIGHT is valuable in its vivid depiction of a take-no-prisoners era--perhaps in retreat, perhaps merely in quiescence--when genuine political debate took a back seat to playground bullying and much of journalism, not just Brock's, descended to a gossipy and lascivious low. Brock flourished in that muddy gutter, which is why it clings to him still."
Frank Bruni, New York Times Book Review, 03/24/2002
Review:"In sum: You cannot fully understand this fevered era without reading this book."
Michael Tomasky, Nation, 04/08/2002
