5.0 out of 5 stars A touching tribute to the 168 victims and others., August 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: In Their Name (Hardcover)

I was in Oklahoma City the day of this incident, arriving within hours after the bombing and am more intimately familiar with many of the events connected with it than those who were not there. The plane I arrived on was full of people from many Federal agencies who were going down to investigate the event, as well as press on their way down to cover the story. It's a day I will never forget. What I found most touching about this book were the individual photos of those innocent 168 people who were executed for no good reason with a brief personal statement about each, e.g., the adorable 14-month old who "loved to have her picture taken," the 6-month old who was just beginning to crawl and had just learned to say "Dada," or the lovely young woman who had just been married for two months. It makes me want to cry all over again, as I did that day. I just came back from there earlier today and, last night, went to visit the site again (my third time), and was just as touched this time as the first time I went there. And the best thing is that the proceeds go to help the victime.

This book evokes the horror of the bombing, and the beauty of the generosity of a world, to this horror.

Another, in a long line of great Ann Rule tomes! Her, primarily Pacific Northwest material, makes for very riveting reading. Once started, it is hard to put each volume down, without first reading it in it's entireity. Always look forward to her next offering.
