Homegrown by Jeffrey Toobin
Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism
A gripping account traces the life of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing as a lens into the rise of right‑wing domestic extremism in America, following the growth of militia movements and conspiracy‑fueled grievances stemming from events like Waco and Ruby Ridge, and the social, political, and cultural factors that radicalized ordinary citizens into terrorists. Combining biography, investigative reporting, and legal analysis, the narrative explains how veterans, anti‑government rhetoric, and lapses in law‑enforcement response converged to produce the deadliest act of homegrown terrorism in U.S. history and considers the lasting implications for democracy and how to prevent future outbreaks of political violence.
