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.
