He cited the Declaration of Independence from memory: \"Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.\" He had obsessively followed the siege of Waco and seethed at the imposition of President Bill Clinton's assault weapons ban. A self-proclaimed white separatist, he abhorred immigration and wanted women to return to traditional roles. As he watched the industrial decline of his native Buffalo, McVeigh longed for when America was great. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author Jeffrey Toobin 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.\" But that doesn't mean his army wasn't there. With news-breaking reportage, Toobin details how McVeigh's principles and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death in 2001, reaching an apotheosis on January 6 when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol. Based on nearly a million previously unreleased tapes, photographs, and documents, including detailed communications between McVeigh and his lawyers, as well as interviews with such key figures as Bill Clinton, \u003ci\u003eHomegrown \u003c\/i\u003ereveals how the story of Timothy 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Toobin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668013571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2022 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/06\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023 pg. 21\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJeffrey Toobin is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Heiress\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Oath\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e Too Close to Call\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e A Vast Conspiracy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Run of His Life: The People vs. O.J.
