Reviews
"Linenthal movingly relates the tortuous process of body identification, family notification, grief counseling, and burial ceremonies and then offers a painstakingly detailed account of the memorialization process and its culmination in the choice of a memorial design.... A revealing,empathetic analysis that fairly examines this tragic act of terror, the worst on U.S. soil until this September."--Library Journal, "A priceless microcosm of hindsight in advance. Many books about therecent attacks have been published, but none of them can achieve what Linenthaloffers: a carefully researched and thought-out study of a culture of aftermath.The value of this book is simple: It has the benefit of the passage oftime."--Newsday, "Edward Linenthal is a sensitive interviewer, a keen researcher, and a wonderful writer. In this richly-layered book, he unveils how Oklahomans, and Americans generally, have made competing histories and memories out of a horrifying act of domestic terrorism. This book is a disturbing andmoving story of heroism and exploitation, of the nature of grief and the language of memorialization, of the entangled human impulses to remember and forget. It is at once a heartbreaking and brilliant analysis of the character of public memory in America in the media age."--David W. Blight, authorof Race and Reunion: The Civil War in American Memory, "Edward Linenthal is a sensitive interviewer, a keen researcher, and awonderful writer. In this richly-layered book, he unveils how Oklahomans, andAmericans generally, have made competing histories and memories out of ahorrifying act of domestic terrorism. This book is a disturbing and moving storyof heroism and exploitation, of the nature of grief and the language ofmemorialization, of the entangled human impulses to remember and forget. It isat once a heartbreaking and brilliant analysis of the character of public memoryin America in the media age."--David W. Blight, author of Race and Reunion: TheCivil War in American Memory, 'Review from previous edition This is a creative and imaginative study, at a critical moment in the social and cultural history of [the Oklahoma city] community and of our nation'James O. Horton, George Washington University, "Linenthal's book is an extraordinary account of the Oklahoma City bombing--more specifically of that community's and the wider culture's attempts to make sense of what happened... Now the value of Linenthal's book lies not so much in what it tells us about Oklahoma City but what it tells usabout the future. It's an eerie glimpse into the long, long process of moving on."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "Linenthal movingly relates the tortuous process of body identification,family notification, grief counseling, and burial ceremonies and then offers apainstakingly detailed account of the memorialization process and itsculmination in the choice of a memorial design.... A revealing, empatheticanalysis that fairly examines this tragic act of terror, the worst on U.S. soiluntil this September."--Library Journal, "Demonstrating how to combine respect for suffering with searchinganalysis, Edward Linenthal examines the responses of bereaved family members,survivors, and community leaders in Oklahoma City. Making an honest reckoningwith the features of tragedy that push human understanding to--and past--itslimits, The Unfinished Bombing provides an unforgettable case study in thestrategies human beings create to manage the memory of searing loss. This bookdeepens the way we think about the misfortunes of the 1995 bombing, as well asthe customs and habits of mind of Americans dealing with violence andmortality."--Patricia Nelson Limerick, author of The Legacy of Conquest andSomething in the Soil, "A powerful and moving book. Edward T. Linenthal, a wonderfully giftedcultural historian, brings to the story of the Oklahoma City bombing and itsaftermath a combination of critical intelligence, indefatigable research, anddeep human empathy. Not only a profound reflection on an event that changedAmerica, this study of how the survivors, the city, and the nation coped with astaggering crisis tells us much about who we are as a people."--Paul Boyer,Editor in Chief, The Oxford Companion to United States History, "An extraordinarily intimate and moving account of the multiplicity ofresponses to a searing act of violence, The Unfinished Bombing confirms EdwardLinenthal's status as one of America's most eloquent and incisive chroniclers ofviolence, death, memorialization, and contested memory."--John Dower, author ofEmbracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War Two, winner of the PulitzerPrize and the National Book Award, "An authoritative but emotionally wrenching account of how a new national monument was created. Linenthal raises troubling questions about what our culture chooses to memorialize in the 21st century--and why."--Karal Ann Marling, Department of Art History, University of Minnesota, "Linenthal brings tremendous sensitivity to his examination of the psychic consequences of the bombing... No book concerning the bombing has so comprehensively addressed the national psyche. This combination of psychological insight and cultural criticism, along with the hopeful assessment of a still-fresh tragedy, will attract a wide audience."--Publisher's Weekly"Linenthal movingly relates the tortuous process of body identification, family notification, grief counseling, and burial ceremonies and then offers a painstakingly detailed account of the memorialization process and its culmination in the choice of a memorial design....

Synopsis
On April 19, 1995 the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City shook the nation, destroying our complacent sense of safety and sending a community into a tailspin of shock, grief, and bewilderment. Almost as difficult as the bombing itself has been the aftermath, its legacy for Oklahoma City and for the nation, and the struggle to recover from this unprecedented attack. In The Unfinished Bombing, Edward T. Linenthal explores the many ways Oklahomans and other Americans have tried to grapple with this catastrophe. Working with exclusive access to materials gathered by the Oklahoma City National Memorial Archive and drawing from over 150 personal interviews with family members of those murdered, survivors, rescuers, and many others, Linenthal looks at how the bombing threatened cherished ideas about American innocence, sparked national debate on how to respond to terrorism at home and abroad, and engendered a new "bereaved community" in Oklahoma City itself. Linenthal examines how different stories about the bombing were told through positive narratives of civic renewal and of religious redemption and more negative narratives of toxicity and trauma. He writes about the extraordinary bonds of affection that were created in the wake of the bombing, acts of kindness, empathy, and compassion that existed alongside the toxic legacy of the event. The Unfinished Bombing offers a compelling look at both the individual and the larger cultural consequences of one of the most searing events in recent American history.
