Others Unknown

The Oklahoma City Bombing Conspiracy

By Jones, Stephen E & Israel, Peter

Publishers Summary:
In this startling book, the state-appointed chief defense counsel for Timothy McVeigh argues that to assume that the bombing of the Murrah Office Building in Oklahoma City was merely the work of two "mad bombers" is to ignore the real meaning of the most serious episode of terrorism in American history. Others Unknown does not merely reconstruct the trial. Stephen Jones had access to a vast amount of research material and possesses an insider's understanding of the behind-the-scenes politics shaping the case. His decision to reveal in this book what was not presented at trial was made out of a firm conviction that it is in the national interest to do so. The true story of the Oklahoma City bombing has not yet been told, and to misunderstand what happened on that April morning is to take the unacceptable risk that a similar tragedy may occur again. Stephen Jones reveals the evidence and theories that didn't make it to trial: that the plot may have involved more than two people; that the government may have known about the bombing in advance; and that it may have covered up evidence.
