"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."Brock, David is the author of 'Blinded by the Right The Conscience of an Ex-Conservative' with ISBN 9781400047284 and ISBN 1400047285.
