Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Oklahoma City is a riveting account of one of the deadliest acts of terrorism on American soil, combining groundbreaking investigative research with a thrilling and true conspiracy story that has implications for national security and law enforcement today.
April 19, 1995: Timothy McVeigh drove into downtown Oklahoma City in a rented Ryder truck containing a fertilizer bomb that he and his army buddy Terry Nichols had made the previous day. He parked, hopped out of the truck, and walked away. Shortly after 9:00 a.m., the bomb obliterated one-third of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, killing 168 people, including 19 infants and toddlers.
Weaving together key elements of personal correspondence with co-defendant Terry Nichols, hundreds of hours of interviews, and thousands of government documents, Oklahoma City: What the Investigation Missed--and Why It Still Matters by investigative reporter Andrew Gumbel and retired U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Roger G. Charles is a riveting piece of journalism and a cautionary tale for our times.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [412]-415) and index.
Combining groundbreaking investigative research with a shocking and true conspiracy story, investigative journalists Andrew Gumbel and Roger Charles puncture the myth about what happened on April 19, 1995 at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. "Oklahoma City" reveals that more players were involved in the plot than simply Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.
