Blinded by the right - David Brock

In a powerful and deeply personal memoir 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.

With a new afterword by the author, Blinded By the Right is a classic political
memoir of our times.
