"American Terrorist: Timothy McVeigh & The Oklahoma City Bombing" (2001) is a book by Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck that chronicles the life of American terrorist Timothy McVeigh from his childhood in Pendleton, New York and military experiences in the Persian Gulf War, to the preparations for and carrying out of the Oklahoma City bombing, to his trial and death row experience. There were plans to include a chapter about his execution (which occurred on June 11, 2001, shortly after the hardcover edition's April 3, 2001 publication) in the softcover edition. One of the appendices has a list of all the 168 people killed in the blast, along with brief biographical information. It is the only book authorized by McVeigh himself. McVeigh was said to be pleased overall with the book, but disappointed with the way he was portrayed and the explanation of his motive. [http://archives.cnn.com/2001/LAW/04/05/mcveigh.book/]
