My friend Phil Bacharach, with whom I started my journalistic career in the mid-90s, extensively covered the Murrah Building bombing and, in 1996, interviewed Timothy McVeigh at the federal penitentiary in El Reno. McVeigh subsequently wrote Phil several times, and Phil eventually compiled these letters and offered fascinating commentary on their content in a story for Esquire titled “The Prison Letters of Timothy McVeigh.” It is fascinating reading, was reposted today by Esquire, and it’s a great piece of journalism written by one of my best friends.
