Age of Rot: A Right Wing Dissident's Prison Dispatches From a Torn America

Nicholas R. Ochs

Nicholas Ochs spent 2 years inside federal prison before being suddenly freed and declared totally legally innocent - not pardoned. This is the January 6 story that you didn't get to read in the news. Ochs never loses his sense of humor: not when convicted of a crime that no longer exists, not when he was the target of an attempted framing as the DC pipe bomber, and not even when he was accused of attempting to take over his prison and thrown in an unbelievably harsh punishment cell. He is never complaining, but also never unconscious of the powerful forces working against him. Ochs brings an emotional, honest, yet always hilarious appraisal of just how rough things can get.

Age of Rot is the collected prison writings of a real American political prisoner and the most poignant record in print of what it's really like to be on the wrong side of leftist political power in the modern Western World. The cost of being a political dissident is as high as it has ever been, and the spirit of the Gulag is alive in America. This is what happens when a man refuses to fold.

Praise for Age of Rot:

"Nick might be the smartest person I’ve ever met. Powerful dumb people have kept him out of sight, but he was always meant to be a major player in American politics. You should be mad you’ve been denied more Nick." - Gavin McInnes

“At long last, a good January 6 book. Can they all finally shut up about it now? Please?” - Milo Yiannopoulos
