The Radicalization of Timothy McVeigh
This chapter explores Timothy McVeigh's radicalization, tracing his troubled background, military experiences, and the influence of extremist literature leading to the Oklahoma City bombing. It discusses the impact of right-wing media in the 1990s and how McVeigh's motivations reflected broader societal grievances against the government. Additionally, it contrasts McVeigh's radicalization journey with today's digital age, examining the evolution of far-right extremism and the normalization of violent rhetoric in modern political discourse.
