5.0 out of 5 stars Enormous compendium of info on OKC Bomb, 26 Sep 1998
By A Customer
This enormous compendium of information about the Oklahoma City Bomb contextualizes that event with the data that official investigations and the press have abandoned now that the fix is in and Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols have been declared the lone bombers. It supplements Jim Keith's previous work, OKBomb!, in many ways, crissing-crossing what's in that book , adding to its body of knowledge and examining the OKC bomb as part of the "politics of terror" strategy that currently dominates international affairs. It includes an introduction by Oklahoma State Representative Charles Key adapted from an appeal letter that "does not necessarily imply Rep. Key's endorsement of the author's conclusions," noting also that author Hoffman and Key shared investigative leads and information. One conclusion that Key no doubt would affirm is the basic premise of the book: federal agencies know far more about the Oklahoma City bombing than they're willing to admit.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very important, 11 Aug 1998
By A Customer
Hoffman's account of the Oklahoma tragedy is a startling expose of goverment coverup. Published in the alternative press and sporting a few typos and factual lapses Hoffman nevertheless presents mountains of detail about the murder of 169 people, (Hoffman apparently counts the unknown owner of a leg found in the debris), which so-called mainstream media has ignored. I found out about this book through my own curiosity and doubt about the official story. The OKBIC (Oklahoma Bombing Investigating Committee) which has a website distances itself from this book in spite of the fact that they agree with most of its premises. The facts are that a fertilizer bomb could not have done the damage, McVeigh was seen with at least five other people,(not Nichols), eyewitnesses and survivors saw strangers in the federal building before the bombing, at least two unexploded "bombs", 5 gallon military type cans of highly explosive mercury fulmate, were removed after the blast, ! suspicious deaths of some who were upset with the gov't handling of the case, seismic recordings of two explosions and survivor reportings of two explosions, and the complete and utter destruction and removal of the murder scene, even to the extent of hauling off all the debris in trucks and burying it at landfills which were guarded, before any independent forensic tests could be done. In addition, Carol Howe and Gary Gagan, federal informants, both told their superiors about plans to blow up a federal building, ATF agents were forewarned by their pagers, and even Congressman Istook (R-OK) knew beforehand. This book is a must-read.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very little reality here, 1 Sep 1999
By A Customer
Think it through, folks. David's arrest record bears out his lies.

The only thing the U.S. Federal Government is guilty of is not heeding the warning of their informants inside the militia and hate groups. Read more
