"While Timothy McVeigh claims total responsibility for the 1995 bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, saying "It was my choice and my control to hit that building when it was full," his chief defense counsel, Stephen Jones, sets the record straight in Others Unknown. Now, for the first time, Jones says what he could not say when he first wrote this book, before McVeigh effectively waived attorney-client privilege: that based on what he learned as McVeigh's counsel, Jones knows that the bombing was a conspiracy, and that McVeigh was not its mastermind.". "Stephen Jones sets the record straight regarding the worst act of terrorism in American history. In Others Unknown, he tells the whole story of his investigation of the case, including what he was told by McVeigh and what he learned about others involved in the conspiracy. Jones reports in detail what McVeigh told him as the case progressed; explains why McVeigh did not plead guilty; and shows McVeigh's real role in the conspiracy and how he obstructed his own defense. This is the definitive historical record of a heinous act of murderous rage; an account indispensable to understanding what happened on April 19, 1995."--BOOK JACKET.
