Author: Jeffrey Toobin

Jeffrey Toobin “Homegrown” traces the dramatic history and profound legacy of Timothy McVeigh, who once declared, “I believe there is an army out there, ready to rise up, even though I never found it.”
Toobin details how McVeigh’s principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001, reaching an apotheosis on Jan. 6 when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol.
Based on previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, the book reveals how the story of McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing is not only a powerful retelling of one of the great outrages of our time, but a warning for our future.
