David Brock transforms from conservative attack dog into the Left's chief defender in this personal political memoir. The former right-wing operative reveals how he now battles the Koch Brothers, Clinton critics, and Fox News from inside Democratic war rooms. Brock exposes the 24/7 messaging wars that shape election narratives, drawing on his experience as both aggressor and defender. He details his complete ideological reversal, from leading Clinton attacker to Hillary Clinton's fiercest advocate. The author dismantles conservative arguments against Clinton while preparing readers for right-wing tactics in the 2016 election. Brock provides citizens with tools to recognize and counter political manipulation campaigns designed to divide voters.
