- Oklahoma City Bombing and controversy with Richard Booth
I remember everything about the day the OKC bombing happened. I also remember thinking I "had it right" when I figured it was "domestic terror," but I know now that the story is far more complex. The reason we know this is because of the work of folks we talk about today with my guest Richard Booth (@booth_okc).
He joins me today to discuss his research and address some recent drama in the OKC research community.CITATIONS
