A history of the right-wing political figures who defined the early 1990s.
What The Reviewers Say
Devotees of Ganz’s pugilistic writing on Substack may be surprised by the restraint he displays in his first book. When the Clock Broke is a work of narrative history that is comparatively light on confrontation and polemic.
Terrific.
Lively...argues with disarming vim.
Accomplished.
