This book explores social movements by analyzing an escalating
spiral of tension between the Patriot movement and the state
centered on the mutual framing of conflict as 'warfare'. By
examining the social construction of 'warfare' as a principal
script or frame defining the movement-state dynamic, Stuart A.
Wright explains how this highly charged confluence of a war
narrative engendered a kind of symbiosis leading to the escalation
of a mutual threat that culminated in the Oklahoma City bombing.
Wright offers a unique perspective on the events leading up to the
bombing because he served as a consultant to Timothy McVeigh's
defense team for eighteen months and draws on primary data based on
face-to-face interviews with McVeigh. The book contends that
McVeigh was firmly entrenched in the Patriot movement and was part
of a network of 'warrior cells' that planned and implemented the
bombing.
