Once in a long while, the publication of a book has a particularly fortuitous timing, in which its relevance seems charged. Such was the case with the publication of Edward T. Linenthal's book The Unfinished Bombing within a few weeks after the attacks of September 11, 2001. Linenthal's book is an impressive achievement in and of itself. It is, and probably will remain, the definitive study of the effects of the 1995 terrorist bombing on Oklahoma City and its survivors. The book's publication postSeptember 11 demonstrated in prescient ways many of the issues that have emerged since that time around the site at ground zero in New York City. |
