Description
|
April 19, 1995. A vicious bombing that claims 168 innocent lives and injures more than 500 others, ravages the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City. Two years later, 29-year-old antigovernment activist, Timothy McVeigh, a decorated Gulf War veteran, is convicted of the crime and sentenced to death. To Americans everywhere, the story has remained a mystery, held hostage by McVeigh's refusal to explain or even discuss the event and his involvement.
In the pages if American Terrorist, every detail of the bombing itself is reconstructed, from the origins of the plot to the moment of detonation and McVeigh's aborted getaway. Not only does this book explain how a decorated war hero from rural New York State became the worst mass murderer in the nation's history, it also helps bring closure, once and for all, to a wound left too long open in our national psyche. 426 pp., hardcover.
