Throughout the ruins of the Oklahoma City bombing, 154 were in the completely destroyed portion of the Murrah building. Among them, only five survived, and Clark Peterson is one of them. He stood bloodied and covered with grayish rubble while a relative spotted him on television. As his book title states, Peterson was Blasted Onto A Pile of Rubble.While recovering, several managers from where he worked insisted that he drop his doctors and submit to theirs. Also, a news network wanted Peterson on international television so the world could watch his reaction to the Murrah building’s implosion.Although these and other battles are covered, Peterson delved into the controversies. 'John Doe #2 is not a figment of two dozen eyewitnesses’ imaginations,' he declared. Peterson details #2’s life history and especially his role throughout the morning of April 19th, 1995. He also explains why the odds of a second Oklahoma City bombing rose to a higher level since December 2003.Journalism graduate Linda Garrett called Peterson’s writing technique 'One of the most descriptive writing styles of any author I have ever had the pleasure of reading.' He writes' in such a manner that keeps his readers turning the pages. His personal account of the bombing ... is incredible.'Along with having the talent to write, Peterson had disaster-like preparations. As described in the beginning of his book, he experienced a near miss from a meteor, authored a book about the two most terrifying forest fires in North American history and anchored the first seven hours of a one in a thousand year flood.
