Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people. On June 11, 2001, an unprecedented 242 witnesses watched him die by lethal injection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the aftermath of the bombings, American public commentary almost immediately turned to \"closure\" rhetoric. Reporters and audiences alike speculated about whether victim's family members and survivors could get closure from memorial services, funerals, legislation, monuments, trials, and executions. But what does \"closure\" really mean for those who survive--or lose loved ones in--traumatic acts? In the wake of such terrifying events, is closure a realistic or appropriate expectation? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn Killing McVeigh, Jody Lyneé Madeira uses the Oklahoma City bombing as a case study to explore how family members and other survivors come to terms with mass murder. The book demonstrates the importance of understanding what closure really is before naively asserting it can or has been reached.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jody Lyneé Madeira\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814796109\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814796108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012 pg. 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2013","brand":"Jody Lyneé Madeira","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46906604650751,"sku":"9780814796108","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9239ac99-2dd9-4605-b5c1-a6bb8304e0ee.jpg?v=1748770893","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/killing-mcveigh-jody-lynezs-madeira-9780814796108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
