On 4/19/1995, terrorism struck the heartland: A cataclysmic explosion destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building, took the lives of 168 people & injured more than 500 others. It wasn't the work of a secret foreign cabal or a maniacal suicide bomber. Instead, death drove a rented truck. Behind the wheel was a young white American male with the barest of knowledge at his fingertips--a driver's license to rent a van & a recipe for mixing farm fertilizer & fuel oil to make a bomb. Timothy McVeigh--son of the working class, an army hero, the kid next door--was about to become the worst mass-murderer in US history.
