About the Book

Timothy James McVeigh provided the information contained within this book to us during the time he spent with us here on death row at the United States Penitentiary in Terre Haute, Indiana.  We engaged in various projects on McVeigh’s behalf, and at some risk to ourselves, in order to gain his trust or a semblance thereof, and his cooperation with the writing of this book.

Our conversations took on many forms during the twenty-three months spent to gather on a unit designed for the condemned .  Our associations were not always amiable, there were disputes, arguments, challenges, chatter, gossip, questions and answers, and even confessions by McVeigh.

We offer this version of events relating to the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, because we feel the public has just as much right to know McVeigh’s SECRETS as they have to know his so-called “AUTHORIZED lone wolf version.”  Wherever possible, the author through a team of investigators has attempted to verify the information provide by McVeigh.  To date approximately 95% of the contents has been verified by independent sources.  We offer McVeigh’s accounts only for what they are worth.  That value is left up to you, the reader to decide.
