About this title

Synopsis

A commemorative volume of the tragic Oklahoma City bombing pays tribute to those who died

From the Back Cover

In Their Name is the official commemorative volume of the tragedy at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It has been compiled with the assistance and cooperation of the Office of the Governor of Oklahoma and the staff of The Daily Oklahoman, under the editorship of noted journalist and author Clive Irving. Random House will be donating all its profits to Project Recovery OKC, Inc., to benefit the victims of the bombing and their families. In Their Name is a moving tribute to those who died in the disaster and a compelling narrative of the rescue efforts. Much of the book is in the words of the survivors, their rescuers, the families of those involved, doctors and other medical staff, and children. The stories here go far beyond any news account of the outrage. They document in vivid detail how people behaved in the crisis. Who converged on the Federal Building in the first minutes after the explosion, what did they find, and how did they respond to the appalling sights? The Reverend Billy Graham has contributed a foreword, and there is an epilogue from Governor and Mrs. Keating, who led their city and state with great fortitude and sensitivity in its ordeal. Tom Brokaw, the NBC News anchor, from the Great Plains himself, has written about his own remarkable experience reporting from Oklahoma City.
