Synopsis

Oklahoma City: the Boom, the Bust and the Bomb

In Oklahoma City: the Boom, the Bust and the Bomb, author David Holt explores the fascinating history of Oklahoma City, from its early days as a bustling frontier town to its transformation into a modern metropolis.

The book delves into the boom years of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when the discovery of oil brought unprecedented wealth and growth to the city. Holt paints a vivid picture of the wild and chaotic oil boom days, when fortunes were made and lost overnight.

But with the boom came the inevitable bust, as the oil industry fluctuated and the city faced economic challenges. Holt examines how Oklahoma City weathered these downturns and emerged stronger than ever.

However, the most tragic event in Oklahoma City's history is the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in 1995. Holt provides a detailed account of the bombing, its aftermath, and the resilience of the city in the face of such a devastating tragedy.

Oklahoma City: the Boom, the Bust and the Bomb is a compelling and comprehensive look at the history of one of America's most dynamic cities, and a testament to the strength and spirit of its people.
