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.

It’s only begun

I really enjoyed the work that went into writing this book. I believe that there is so much that is being hidden from the American people by the government whose only constitutional responsibility is to protect them. Margaret has only scratched the surface, but this book is worth the time and money, and I highly recommend it.

great report!

loads of data and documentation. thank you for sharing. It's sad that our government is so involved in cover-up and coercion.

love all the details regarding the investigation

I disliked the nasty truth the book reveals. apart from that I liked it all

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
