Reexamining the Oklahoma City bombing investigation
Andrew Gumbel and retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel Roger G. Charles revisit the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building, an attack that killed 168 people. Drawing on correspondence involving Terry Nichols, extensive interviews, and government documents, the book investigates areas the authors contend were overlooked in the official inquiry. Its frame extends beyond a reconstruction of the attack: it considers the case through questions of conspiracy, national security, and law-enforcement investigation. The emphasis is on the evidence assembled by the authors and on their argument that unresolved aspects of the case retain public significance.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers interested in late-20th-century U.S. history
- Readers seeking investigative accounts of terrorism and criminal inquiries
- Those interested in national-security and law-enforcement questions

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.
