David Brock is the ultimate happy warrior. Once a leading attacker of the Clintons, David is now the progressive movement's pre-eminent defender and truth-teller. In this incisive, personal account, Brock disarms the far-reaching tentacles of the Republican Leviathan: the Koch Brothers, the Clinton-haters and the Fox Noise Machine. With the acumen of a seasoned political player, Brock takes readers inside his Democratic war rooms as they do battle, 24/7, with right-wing forces to shape the stories that will decide who will win the White House in 2016. And finally Brock discloses the real low-down playbook for what conservatives will do in the next election cycle to tear apart Americans and what honest, engaged and informed citizens can do to combat their dirty tricks.

"KILLING THE MESSENGER exposes the art of scandal-mongering by one of the guys who invented it. It's a must read for the chin scratchers of the Washington Beltway and grassroots activists alike. If you want to know the Republican playbook for smearing Democrats by making stuff up, read this and then use it as a guide on how to fight back."―James Carville
