Gr 6-10-These informative titles tend to be rather graphic, both visually and verbally. Short chapters and simple vocabulary make them accessible to reluctant readers. Giordano concentrates on Timothy McVeigh's background, political views, role in the events leading to the actual bombing, and his trial and execution. Victoria Sherrow's The Oklahoma City Bombing (Enslow, 1998), written in a more straightforward style, examines the bombing and aftermath more, but focuses less on McVeigh and his accomplices. Sonneborn traces the sequence of events from the arrival in Munich of the Black September terrorists through the harrowing days of the hostage-taking, police negotiations, and final gun battle at the F rstenfeldbruck airport. The author also includes the later release of the surviving terrorists, the Israeli Operation Wrath of God, and more currently, the lawsuits filed by families of the slain athletes against the German government.-Cynthia M.
