The Oklahoma City Bombing

On April 19, 1995, a massive explosion shook the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring hundreds more. The Oklahoma City Bombing by Nicholas Hunter is a chilling and deeply researched account of the deadliest act of domestic terrorism in American history. This gripping narrative delves into the life of Timothy McVeigh—his radicalization, motivations, and the twisted ideology that led him to commit an unthinkable act.

Hunter reconstructs the timeline of events with clarity and urgency, from the planning of the attack to the aftermath that shocked the nation and reshaped American counterterrorism policy. Through court transcripts, interviews, and psychological insight, this book explores how one man’s extremist beliefs turned into a national tragedy—and what it means for America’s future.
