Blowback

The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing

De: Margaret Roberts

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

What if everything we know about one of America's darkest days is wrong?

Tragedy unfolded on April 19, 1995, when a massive bomb exploded in America's Heartland, killing 168 people, including fifteen children. History says the Oklahoma City bombing was lone wolf terrorism. But haunting fresh evidence points instead to a neo-Nazi plot in which the FBI played a hidden role.

The FBI launched the biggest manhunt in its history for two suspected bombers. Yet they never captured the other suspect, known only as John Doe 2, who rode next to McVeigh in the bomb truck. Soon, the FBI canceled the search, saying eyewitnesses who saw John Doe 2 were mistaken.

None of this rings true to award-winning journalist Margaret Roberts. How could twenty witnesses be wrong?

More troubling clues lead Roberts to reopen the mystery of John Doe 2 before the thirtieth anniversary of America's deadliest domestic terror attack. Blowback chronicles her shocking discoveries, including journalism's only face-to-face prison interviews with McVeigh coconspirator Terry Nichols. Roberts puts the puzzle together after a whistleblower steps forward, though one burning mystery remains. Is John Doe 2 the FBI's guilty secret?

great start

good starter for people wanting to learn more about okc bombing, after this read aberration in the heartland by Wendy painting.

The truth belongs to the people;

Or so it is supposed to be. A very well presented and informative book on ANOTHER “conspiracy theory “ that will never be admitted by our government. As the author mentions in her afterword, the number of bogus “sting” operations (and then the inevitable cover up) perpetuated by the FBI/ATF has increased since the 90’s. Good book and confirms a lot of what I have found since the incident. Love for this to shake things up but I have lived too long for that foolishness. My $.02

If you like conspiracy this one is for you…

Covers the OKC bombing from several different view points of individuals involved. This one touches on all the plot points and ties everything together. This one will be buried in the annuals of history. You will not see any coverage of this one in the media.

A must read!

Incredible story that provides details many of us were unaware of. Very well researched and written.

Excellent summary of what is known so far

The author appears authentic in her search for truth. She's not just grinding an axe against someone or something. Where there is room for doubt, she says so. This is a great resource for anyone who wants to quickly get up to speed on all the evidence that the DoJ and FBI have either obfuscated, ignored, or destroyed since the day of detonation.

Unbelievable

I am blown away by this book. Jaw dropping, infuriating and mind blowing. Our government is not the good guys. Well written, captivating, hard to dispute because it backs up everything. I’m sure I’ll be listening to this one a few times.

Detailed and presented in a compelling narrative

A slight amount of hubris from the author,that dragged out in the end. I appreciate the trust and the camaraderie inherent in the research, but the repetitive self references took away from the cadence of the story.

well documented

sometimes jumping back and forth in the timeline with so many characters can be info overload

WOW

Incredible expose. I consider this the definitive story on the Oklahoma City bombing. if you don't get the heebie jeebies reading this book then you need to check your pulse. Not surprised how many times the author credits or references John Solomon. He's always got his nose where the action is. I cant recommend highly enough. This is a MUST read for anyone interested in the deep state. Hopefully some day we will get the rest of the story and get to see some of those videos.

You won't regret diving into this book.

Blowback is a book that might just turn your perspective upside down, especially if you haven’t been closely following events over the past few decades. Margaret Roberts delivers an exceptional work of investigative journalism, blending meticulous research, thorough documentation, and compelling storytelling to unravel the complexities surrounding the Oklahoma City bombing and its broader implications.

From start to finish, Blowback takes readers on an eye-opening journey—one you didn’t even realize you needed to take. The word “story” hardly does justice to the depth and weight of this narrative. Roberts masterfully weaves together a tapestry of information, drawing on the contributions of key figures like J.D. Cash and Jesse Trentadue, while giving credit to all who played a role in uncovering the truth.

As an investigative reporter and storyteller, Roberts shines, presenting a gripping account that is both informative and profoundly engaging. Blowback is a must-read that will leave you rethinking what you thought you knew. You won’t regret diving into this powerful book.
