Author: Stuart A. Wright<br />File Type: pdf<br />This book explores an escalating spiral of tension between the Patriot movement and the state leading up to the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995. The author served as a consultant to Timothy McVeighs defense team and draws on information based on face-to-face interviews with McVeigh. Wright contends that McVeigh was firmly entrenched in the Patriot movement and was part of a network of warrior cells that planned and carried out the bombing. By examining the Patriot movements history and subsequent reconfiguration of conflicts with the state, McVeighs role in the bombing can be more fully understood. **
