His reporting in \u003ci\u003eThe American Spectator\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eBlinded By the Right\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a new afterword by the author, \u003ci\u003eBlinded By the Right\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic political memoir of our times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Brock, a writer in Washington, D.C., is the author of\u003cb\u003e The Real Anita Hill\u003c\/b\u003e and\u003cb\u003e The Seduction of Hillary Rodham\u003c\/b\u003e.
