Recensione:
“Extraordinarily well-researched... The book brilliantly deconstructs the investigation.” (Wall Street Journal)

“The story of the Murrah building bombing receives its most comprehensive accounting yet... It is a cautionary and at times startling tale, filled with bizarre characters from the outer fringes of American political life, with continuing relevance today.” (Michael Isikoff, The Daily Beast)

“Impressive... There are enough freak-show touches to keep an FX drama stocked for three seasons... As Gumbel and Rogers tell it, the bombing investigation fell short of discovering the truth because of sloppiness, self-serving intra-office politics, and obstructive turf wars among law enforcement agencies.” (Salon)

“A well-reported, sober assessment... They make a strong case that some individuals involved in the bombing remain at liberty...the message is important for the future security of the U.S. citizenry.” (Kansas City Star)

“Credible and relevant... Offers a perspective other than what was proved at the trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols...and explores the unsettling question of whether such an event could happen again by homegrown perpetrators.” (Tulsa World)

“This crisply written, fully documented book will anger you.” (The Tucson Citizen)

“The most comprehensive account yet...will dash the smug assertions at the time that the feds had caught all the perpetrators.” (The Commercial Dispatch (Mississippi))
