In the early morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy McVeigh drove into downtown Oklahoma City in a rented Ryder truck containing a deadly fertilizer bomb that he and his army buddy Terry Nichols had made the previous day. He parked in a handicapped-parking zone, hopped out of the truck, and walked away into a series of alleys and streets. 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. McVeigh claimed he'd worked only with Nichols, and at least officially, the government believed him. But McVeigh's was just one version of events. And much of it was wrong.
In Oklahoma City, veteran investigative journalists Andrew Gumbel and Roger G. Charles puncture the myth about what happened on that day - one that has persisted in the minds of the American public for nearly two decades. Working with unprecedented access to government documents, a voluminous correspondence with Terry Nichols, and more than 150 interviews with those immediately involved, Gumbel and Charles demonstrate how much was missed beyond the guilt of the two principal defendants: in particular, the dysfunction within the country's law enforcement agencies, which squandered opportunities to penetrate the radical right and prevent the bombing, and the unanswered question of who inspired the plot and who else might have been involved.
To this day, the FBI heralds the Oklahoma City investigation as one of its great triumphs. In reality, though, its handling of the bombing foreshadowed many of the problems that made the country vulnerable to attack again on 9/11. Law enforcement agencies could not see past their own rivalries and underestimated the seriousness of the deadly rhetoric coming from the radical far right. In Oklahoma City, Gumbel and Charles give the fullest, most honest account to date of both the plot and the investigation, drawing a vivid portrait of the unfailingly compelling - driven, eccentric, fractious, funny, and wildly paranoid -characters involved.

Historia
On July 27, 1996, a hapless former cop turned hypervigilant security guard named Richard Jewell spotted a suspicious bag in Atlanta’s Centennial Olympic Park, the town square of the 1996 Summer Games. Inside was a bomb, the largest of its kind in FBI and ATF history. Minutes later, the bomb remotely detonated by the attacker amid a crowd of 50,000 people. But thanks to Jewell, it only killed two and wounded 111, not the hundreds who authorities estimated could have otherwise died. With the eyes of the world on Atlanta, the games continued.

Historia
Timothy McVeigh wanted to start a movement. Speaking to his lawyers days after the Oklahoma City bombing, the Gulf War veteran expressed no regrets: killing 168 people was his patriotic duty. New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.” But that doesn’t mean his army wasn’t there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001.

When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was drumming for a rock band that was going nowhere fast. Intrigued and frustrated with a stalled music career, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burnt to the ground after a 51-day standoff. In this book, Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired.

Eventually, Jones moved his church, Peoples Temple, to northern California, where he got involved in electoral politics and became a prominent Bay Area leader. But underneath the surface lurked a terrible darkness.

Over two grim nights in Los Angeles, the young followers of Charles Manson murdered seven people, including the actress Sharon Tate, then eight months pregnant. With no mercy and seemingly no motive, the Manson Family followed their leader's every order. Twenty years ago, when journalist Tom O'Neill was reporting a magazine piece about the murders, he worried there was nothing new to say. Then he unearthed shocking evidence of a cover-up behind the "official" story, including police carelessness, legal misconduct, and potential surveillance by intelligence agents.

Today, we remember this moment for the 76 people, including 20 children, who died in the fire; for its inspiration of the Oklahoma City bombing; and for the wave of anti-government militarism that followed. What we understand far less is what motivated the Davidians’ enigmatic leader, David Koresh.

Jared joined the Marines straight out of high school and is now a veteran of numerous campaigns. Although he is well respected and an extremely good Marine, Jared has had enough.

Revelations in this book include why the FBI chose to end the siege with the use of CS gas; how both ATF and FBI officials tried and failed to cover up their agencies’ mistakes; where David Koresh plagiarized his infamous prophecies; and direct links between the Branch Davidian tragedy and the modern militia movement in America.

Historia
The American Terrorist by Jeffrey Sabins takes us deep inside the Iraq conflict with Marine Gunnery Sergeant Jared Tremble during his trek of military revenge. Jared joined the Marines straight out of high school and is now a veteran of numerous campaigns. Although he is well respected and an extremely good Marine, Jared has had enough. He feels the government and military leadership have been lying consistently to the troops and that they should not even be there, fighting in some foreign land against an enemy that is simply trying to live its purpose and faith.

Historia
In the 1950s, a young Indianapolis minister named Jim Jones preached a curious blend of the gospel and Marxism. His congregation was racially mixed, and he was a leader in the early civil rights movement. Eventually, Jones moved his church, Peoples Temple, to northern California, where he got involved in electoral politics and became a prominent Bay Area leader. But underneath the surface lurked a terrible darkness.

So begins a new preface, illustrating how Columbine became the template for nearly two decades of "spectacle murders." It is a false script, seized upon by a generation of new killers. In the wake of Newtown, Aurora, and Virginia Tech, the imperative to understand the crime that sparked this plague grows more urgent every year.

Historia
When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was drumming for a rock band that was going nowhere fast. Intrigued and frustrated with a stalled music career, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burnt to the ground after a 51-day standoff. In this book, Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired.

Great, in-depth account.
I became interested in this after listening to the No Way, Jose podcast concerning the OKC bombing. It is also interesting to me because I’m an Okie who was 5 years old when the bombing occurred. Also, I’m a libertarian, who is skeptical of our government’s role in events like this.

Very interesting, very repetitive.
there is a lot of interesting material in this book. I think they could have written the book in about half the words if they didn't repeat the same points over and over again. Maybe they were trying to drive a point home, I'm not sure but I still enjoyed it! Thanks for the interesting read... well listen!

Thorough, insightful
“All you need to know”? Maybe so. Relevant to the rise of domestic terrorism we see today? Definitely. The authors thoroughly outline the gripes, the motivations for McVeigh/Nichols and their ilk. The reader easily infers how the same still exist if not 1000 fold. Without going “all conspiracy theory” they present circumstantial evidence that the convicted bombers did not act alone and how entire communities that foment such violence existed then as today. Another familiar name present is that of Merrick Garland. Understating this and the failures of Waco, Ruby Ridge will allow the reader greater insight to the danger our country faces from within today.

A Must Listen!
An in depth look at how Ruby Ridge and Waco both motivated the attacks and prevented investigators from potentially stopping it. Furthermore, while not refuting who the guilty parties were, makes a compelling argument that there were more that were not pursued over fears of hurting convictions for McVeigh and Nichols.

Informative and captivating
Although I thought I was familiar with the story of the Oklahoma City bombing, I now realize that I actually knew very few of the details of this awful event. I thought the naration was very good and appreciated that the story didn't get bogged down with overly detailed facts/information that might not work well in an audio book.
Listening to it was time well spent.

Excellent book
A stunning account of the tragedy and the investigation which I honestly didn’t know was so focused on proving that they acted alone very informative

Not Great. Boring.
This is not the best audiobook I have listened to for a couple of reasons.
1. Too many uncessary characters and constant jumping back and forth of the chapters made me have to wind and rewind the story.
2. The narrator's voice literlly puts me to sleep. His voice is rather monotonous.
But on the pro side I did learn a lot about the Oklahoma City bombing and I do not think on McVeigh, Nichols and Fortier were in on the conspiracy alone. They don't seem to be the brightest bulbs in the pack although McVeigh was a delusional monster with no remorse whatsoever. He died for Waco and became obsessed with "The Turner Diaries". I am against the death penalty but I got the impression that McVeigh wanted nothing more than to become some kind of twisted martyr. I am a critical thinker and am not one to believe conspiracy theories but something about this book is strange. Several people attained witness protection including Fortier after after serving 10 years of his sentence.

The book which may be 99% accurate.
I've read a lot of books about the Oklahoma City Bombing and while this isn't the easiest to follow, it may be the most factual and the most accurate. Stephen Jones was McVeigh's lead defense council and I read this book on his recommendation. There is a fantastic interview with him you can listen to on Voices of Oklahoma wherein he is asked which authors got it right. He sort of meanders saying (and I'm paraphrasing) that one book got it 75%, another maybe 90%. One got as close as 97%, but he felt like the Gumbel/Charles book was 99%. After everything I've read I believe this to be pretty true. The book centers on the bombing and all the characters who may have been involved whether there is evidence they were or not. It does not focus on Jayna Davis's claims made in "The Third Terrorist", the Hammer book "Secrets Worth Dying For", but does pay some attention to McVeigh's personal perspectives as related in "American Terrorist" - however, what is told there should be taken with a grain of salt as scant truth can be made of anything revealed by McVeigh proper due to egregious self-aggrandizement.
OKC by Gumbel and Charles discusses possible white supremacist involvement without pointing the finger, talks about Elohim City and their connection to the CSAL in early 80s Arkansas, and how this all relates to the MidWestern Bank robbers and how any or all of them could be involved in the plot. There is incredible detail about McVeigh's relationship with Co-conspirator Terry Nichols and seeks to reconcile the idea that McVeigh was HIS patsy. The Roger Moore robbery is covered with massive backstory glancing both directions as to if Nichols did it or someone else. And then there's Michael and Lori Fortier, who despite every government body claiming they were going to get everyone, prosecute them, and make them serve their time, the Fortiers made a deal, Mike served 12 years while Lori got nothing, and they live in witness protection on our dime. Furthermore, the greatest oddity of it all, NOT the FBIs unwillingness to seek out every possible lead to every one of the aforementioned, NOT that we executed a guy that would have eventually talked because he was just too cocky for his own good - the oddity of Andreas Strassmeir - "Andy the German" is explored. Was he a German paramilitary in the US sent to seek out anti-government elements? Was he a listless hack, couch surfing his way through the right-wing? Was he aware of the bombing like several other and made no effort to call it in? And how did he get out of the United States on an expired visa just when the law enforcement apparatus decided he might be useful? And then there's Carol Howe, ATF informant and right-wing insider who was deemed useless when her testimony would have depicted a wholly different concept than the one the prosecution wanted to show. All of this and a whole lot more are told within this book. It is a multi-faceted tale reading like a flow chart to get you to any one of several possible destinations, but when you arrive at one you are more horrified than the last. It's the most adult choose-your-own-adventure with the worst single question: how can so many possible people have had prior knowledge and done nothing to stop one Tim McVeigh unless there is a greater, more dastardly reason to have let it happen.
This book is comprehensive and revealing. Nevertheless, Others Unknown by Stephen Jones and Peter Israel is a better read. You just can't read one without reading all the others. You know... because of the hyperbole.

Ripping, well documented, illuminating history.
Reads like a great detective story with unfollowed leads on, examined suspects and potential conspiracies around every corner. Yet the book is so thoroughly documented. It never bears into conspiracy theories. Brilliant performance by the narrator. Relentlessly compelling. I listened to this audiobook while working on the paramount television series Waco aftermath, which will explore much of the same territory. Brilliant, brilliant book.
