Oklahoma City: Day One: A Detailed Account of the Bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April 19, 1995
From an Amazon review:
This book is a one of a kind type narrative. The author, Michele Marie Moore, was living in OKC at the time of the explosion. Also, at that time she was working with William Cooper. (If you don't know who William "Bill" Cooper is then I am not sure you're going to like this book.) Cooper wrote the forward to the book which gives a bit of background about the author.
As for the book: When Moore learned of the explosion, she immediately set up all the audio recorders she could and tuned them to all record the local news station's broadcasts. She did the same with the video of the local news. The reason she did this was, as I noticed personally years later from 911, the most accurate recitation of events is revealed in the initial hours of the government's machinery is in place to script the narrative.
True to form, the media's story of what took place at OKC changed quite dramatically. This is the story and it is well told and worth the read.
I would like to add that Mrs. Moore passed away a very much loved mother and wife. From what I read online, she has been and will be sorely missed by those who knew her.
A bit more well known, is the murder at the hands of sheriff's deputies of Bill Cooper. This book is a great tribute to both of them and what they wanted for all Americans first and foremost: TRUTH. Sadly, we get less and less of it with every passing day and we lost great assets in getting closer to it when we lost the authors of book. Lastly, when I was reading the book, I happened to notice the title page contained the signatures of both Moore and Cooper. It made my week.
