Homegrown : Timothy McVeigh and the rise of right-wing extremism (engelsk)


Beskrivelse


The Oklahoma City Bombing was a traumatic event for the US, stunned by the homegrown terrorism and senseless deaths. A veteran of the Gulf War, McVeigh longed to overthrow the government. McVeigh's incendiary principles are exemplified by the paramilitary wing of the conservative movement, which thrived during Trump’s presidency. Toobin reveals how McVeigh’s values and tactics have flourished in the decades since his death, reaching an apotheosis on January 6th when hundreds of rioters stormed the Capitol.
