Homegrown: Timothy McVeigh and the Rise of Right-Wing Extremism is a chronicle of the political, historical and media-personality influences that radicalized McVeigh resulting in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The book also ties McVeigh and those same influences to the radical right politics and the sometimes violent right-wing extremism of today's postmodern United States. It was written by Jeffrey Toobin and published in 2023 by Simon & Schuster.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
In his "Prologue", Toobin writes: "In the decades since [McVeigh's] death, the rise in right-wing extremism, the January 6 insurrection, and much in the contemporary conservative movement, show how McVeigh’s values, views, and tactics have endured and even flourished. That makes the story of Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City bombing not just a glimpse of the past but also a warning about the future."[6]
