Book Description
Saucerful of Secrets is the first in-depth biography of this very private group. At the heart of the saga is Syd Barrett, the group's brilliant founder, whose public decline into shattered incoherence--attributable in part to his marathon use of LSD--is one of the tragedies of rock history. The making of Dark Side of the Moon and Floyd's other great albums is recounted in detail, as are the mounting of "The Wall" and the creation of the flying pigs, crashing planes, "Mr. Screen" and the other elements of their spectacular stage shows. The book also explores the many battles between bass player/song writer Roger Waters and the rest of the group, leading up to Water's acrimonious departure for a solo career in 1984 and his unsuccessful attempt to disolve the group he had left behind.
Saucerful of Secrets is an electrifying account of this ground-breaking, mind-bending group, covering every period of their career from earliest days to latest recordings. It is full of revealing information that will be treasured by all who love Pink Floyd's music.

great book!!!.......2007-09-14
As a true Pink Floyd fan I can sincerely say that the author of the book does a great job in telling the story of this great band.
Saucerful of Secrets.......2007-02-10
Buy Nick Mason's "Inside Out" biographical book instead. Much better - great photos & the real story. This one's a snoozer.
What do I have to say to make you buy this book??.......2007-01-05
Its incredible, best book about Pink Floyd you will ever read.
If you're a fan, whether it is an avid fan or a casual fan, you will enjoy this book. It features wonderful details about the especially elusive Syd years, and it starts well before Pink Floyd was still The Pink Floyd Sound. It tells the entire story of how the band was formed, their live band stage, their success with dark side, all the way until the end of their career.
Highly Recommended

(I meant to give this two stars, whoops...)
I'm surprised at the the general acceptence that this is a great bio, and that the negative reviews don't seem to really express very developed thoughts. I had a negative reaction to the book for a few reasons.
As one reviewer put it, the book is generally anti-Waters, and very much pro-Syd and the rest. Have whatever opionion you wish, but there was an apparent bias in the text which should be left out.
One thing that very much annoyed me was that the author uses song and album titles as modifying phrases as much as possible, and it comes off as horribly cliche and tacky. For instance in reference to Syd and Dave's time spent in France, the author concludes with "They were certaintly learning the 'Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking'." Not a huge deal, but I'd expect that from a B grade high school essay.
This is not the first book I've read on the Floyd, the third or fourth, of which this is the most dated. So for the most part there was very little information I didn't already know. The exception being a few pieces of information on the days with Syd and some detail on how Syd spent his time after Floyd. Also there were tid-bits about the post Water's Floyd that I wasn't aware of. So while this is not entierly the author's fault, what surprised me was the incredible lack of information on the band from about 1969-1980, which is probably the period most readers are interested in. This period is almost exlusively dedicated to explaining their albums. Basically by giving a bit of information on some of the major songs and a description on the albums impact. I have recently read Bob Spitz's wonderful biography on the Beatles, and I was just simply amazed at the level of detail the author goes into. You get and very firm impression of what it was like to be a Beatle and you see them on many dimensions. So I was very underwhelmed by the lack of content in Saucerful of Secrets. You get one-dimension, and its the albums. I am very aware that Pink Floyd was a private band, but alot of talk about this book lead me to believe I would be getting much more than what I actually found.
If this were the first book I choose to read on the Floyd I'd probably have been satisfied, but if you are already a big fan I doubt you'll find much new here (also there were a few things that are just incorrect), though you'll probably read it anyway. Just don't expect too much or that you'll find it a particularly exciting read.
p.s. The author deems "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" a good album, had I known that before honestly I might not have read it.
Great Read. Highly Recommended........2006-07-12
I remember reading this book about 8 years ago. It still sticks with me. This book is huge. A lot of details about the early days of the band. I think almost half of it is about the Syd Barrett days. I recommend it to any true fan of Pink Floyd, Syd, or of Rock N Roll in general. I wish I didn't lend it out. I will be buying it again for sure. It's well worth it.

The most misunderstood and important topic in the world.......2005-06-13
This brilliant book convincingly shows that, contrary to the opinion of most educated people, violence has steadily declined over the centuries and millennia. The practical relevance of this finding is obvious: If we could identify the causes, maybe we could bottle them and enjoy even further reductions. And it raises key questions about our species and how it responds to different environments with aggression or tolerance. The only flaws of this book are its essentially anarchist politics (which would seem to be refuted by the outbreaks of violence whenever government breaks down) and the fact that the author chose to self-publish and hence forgo the publicity and distribution that this important and engrossing book deserves.
An Eye-opening book!.......2005-04-16
Wow! I read this and learned a lot. Payne argues that, looking at all of history, humans have become less and less inclined to use force. He surveys all of history and cites many facts to buttress his argument. The degree of violence in the world today is exaggerated, he argues convincingly. The media and others tend to distort the true amount of violence. In fact, we live in very peaceful times, for the most part. Read this book and you may become convinced. He examines trends in plundering neighboring tribes, committing genocide, murder, and even taxation, all of which are uses of force. The sweep of this book is incredible. The style of this book makes it a pleasure to read, without the usual academic mumbo jumbo that history or political science books too often have. Even if you don't agree with the author's conclusion, reading this will give you some food for thought.

Book Description
At 9:02 A.M. on April 19, 1995, in the largest terrorist act ever perpetrated on American soil, the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City was destroyed by the explosion of a homemade truck bomb. One hundred and sixty-eight people -- including nineteen children -- were killed by the blast, and more than five hundred others were injured. Timothy J. McVeigh, an antigovernment activist, was tried and convicted of the bombing. But to Americans everywhere, the story has remained a mystery, held hostage by McVeigh's refusal to explain or even discuss the event and his involvement.
With this book, that mystery is solved.
American Terrorist will change, unmistakably and permanently, our understanding of the crime. Journalists Lou Michel and Dan Herbeck have been researching the Oklahoma City bombing -- and the Iife of Tim McVeigh -- since the week the tragedy occurred. They have interviewed more than one hundred and fifty people from every stage of McVeigh's life, from his childhood friends to the psychiatrist hired by the defense team to examine him before his trial. They have garnered the cooperation of McVeigh's father, mother, and sister Jennifer, and gained exclusive access to previously unpublished family photographs and personal effects. And, in April 1999, Michel and Herbeck secured an extraordinary coup: in more than seventy-five hours of interviews, they persuaded Timothy McVeigh to give the first complete, candid, no-holds-barred account of his story -- an account, given with no compensation or right of approval, that American Terrorist sheds light on every aspect of McVeigh's life. It describes his relationship with Terry Nichols and Michael Fortier and the consuming distrust of the government shared by the three. And in its pages every detail of the bombing itself is reconstructed, from the origins of the plot to the moment of detonation and McVeigh's aborted getaway. American Terrorist puts to rest conspiracy theories that have previously gone unresolved. It clarifies the role and responsibility of every person who has been implicated in the plan. And it explains, thoroughly and definitively, how a decorated war hero from rural New York State became the worst mass murderer in the nation's history.
At once a powerful work of journalism and a uniquely American story, American Terrorist wiII help bring closure, once and for all, to a wound left too long open in our national psyche.

fascinating read.......2005-12-04
This story has appealed to me for a long time. So, needless to say when this book came out I had to purchase it. The book is especially strong on the post-army deterioration Mcveigh felt and his disillusionment with the government. The authors were also granted interviews with Mcveigh in prison which lend credence to the story. The fascinating part for me was generally prisoners deny their crimes and fight to the bitter end, as in the case of death row prisoners. Mcveigh seemed to be completely willing to die for his acts, and in fact relished it. It seems to be part of his endgame strategy. Great read about a intense individual.
Patriotism vs. Terrorism.......2005-06-06
One of my students discussed this book in a paper and stated that he had really liked it, so I decided to read it as well. Although I knew some about the OKC bombing, I didn't really know much.
The book is written by two journalists who interviewed McVeigh, people who knew McVeigh, and people who were affected by what he did. The number of first-person accounts are staggering, and the information the authors gleaned from their interviews creates a very interesting picture of McVeigh, his life, the bombing, and his time in jail. As you read the book you don't get the feeling that the authors are attempting to sway your opinion of McVeigh - it's very even-handed and factual. Because of this I felt that the book was far longer than it needed to be. There were many sections that could have conveyed the point without the length.
I highly enjoyed reading this book and definitely suggest it to anyone interested in McVeigh's life. For any number of reasons, the book ends before he is executed, which I disliked. I would have liked to have heard about how people felt about the execution after it had taken place. Interviews on that topic may have brought up feelings that the authors may not have wanted to deal with though, which is completely understandable.
Book by Lou Michel: American Terrorist.......2005-02-14
If you want a book about Timothy McVeigh this is the one to buy.
I like this one as it gives facts all about his life and the bombing and it lacks very few of the authors opinions! When I read about someone I like to read just the facts! I don't like someone trying to sway me in one direction with their opinions. The book, "American Monster" would evidently be nothing but opionins!
detailed but flawed.......2004-07-15
BUFFALO NEWS reporters Michel and Herbeck's book on Timothy McVeigh may stand as the definitive book on this troubled individual (conspiracy theories notwithstanding). However, the book ultimately ends with the question "Why?", and that is its major flaw.
One need only to read Gore Vidal's essay "The Meaning of Timothy McVeigh" (in his book PERPETUAL WAR FOR PERPETUAL PEACE) to understand that the bomber, though, troubled, was an intelligent and sane individual. In my opinion, it is not hard to understand why he did what he did. He came from a troubled family life, one which left him without any sense of security or stability in his life. He was later able to find some of this in the military, where he distinguished himself in the first Gulf War. However, when he returned to civilian life, he found that his new-found status as a war hero meant nothing, as he was unable to get a decent job. Doubts about the reasons for going to war made him question the US government, which, coupled with his dire personal life, soon festered into an open hatred for the government, which failed to provide the stability and security just as his parents had failed to provide them. McVeigh then fell back on the only thing he was good at-- his military training. In his own twisted way, he had a strong sense of right and wrong, and felt he was doing the country a favor by striking back against the evils of this country's ruling powers. The federal building was just a symbol to him of the faceless uncaring government, and he probably never even considered the fate of the hundreds of innocents he killed that day; perhaps they were just "collateral damage" to him. Unless we understand him and others like him, we will be forced to face others like him.
out of the night that covers me..i am the captain of my soul.......2003-11-06
Those were the first and last sentences of his last words. It is a rather famous poem which describes simply how life can transcend beyond what is seen by the general media or the judgemental prying eyes.
He did much good for his country only to eventually be told he was not good enough to be the best. Not knowing how to accept defeat he eventually went after victory in another way.
I have a little blood in my mouth to this day. The navy had to destroy their work records of me before they could discharge me. I am now a success despite them trying to ruin my life.
I see where he is coming from. If I would have made a few turns I chose not to make, I could have shared his fate.
Thank you to those who tried to destroy me and started to build me into the person I am today. To many sorry reenlistments and years of missery...cheers.

Customer Reviews:
Powerful and intense is an understatement!.......2007-05-13
It's been a while since I read this book but I can tell you that it hit me in the gut. It was a book about Timothy McVeigh, one of America's dispicable criminals. I think the section in the book that struck me most was when the Feds went to his father's house. His father, a proud American, and former military man himself was shocked by the Feds treating him at first as if he was involved with his son's actions. You got the impression that the Feds felt sorry for this man who fathered Timothy and why wouldn't you be? As the Feds got to know the father, their guards went down because they realized that father and son were completely different in their views. A father is a proud American and the son is completely not. You read about how the divorce and his views of his mother helped shape his thinking. His relationship with his sisters and others also gave us insight to this lonely human being who obviously was distraught, mistrustful, and dangerous to his country after serving his country in 1991 Desert Storm. You begin to ask so many questions about why and how this disaster of the bomb going off at the Murrah building in Oklahoma City could have happened. The book answers or provides to clues to understanding him but it doesn't justify his actions. No, he was guilty of a horrendous crime which proved no purpose. He was ready to get arrested, sentenced, and executed. He showed no remorse to the victims, living and deceased, from his actions. Not a tear or a I'm sorry. Nothing, here was a great American soldier who became an American terrorist long before the events of September 11, 2001 crept in to our histories. Lana Padilla, Terry Nichols' former wife, wrote that it would have been easier to accept a foreigner and not a domestic terrorist. She is right! We could have taken it if it was a complete foreigner and stranger to our country! I remember thinking people were saying Middle Eastern terrorists but how wrong, how so wrong.
More government propaganda.......2003-09-07
We can add this book to the numerous articles done by CNN,ABC and NBC and the many other government mouthpieces that have given us plenty of sensationalism and "flexible facts" and biased hype, but very little truth, hard core FACTS and the undeniable evidence that points to a larger conspiracy and a huge government cover up. Just like the networks, the authors of the book put forth only what the government wants the masses to see. You don't get the facts when you read this book, people you get fantasy/fiction. If you want FACTS I suggest you visit the Official Oklahoma City Bombing Investigation team's website. Oklahoma State representative Charles Key has done a wonderful job investigating the bombing and his Final Report provides us with the evidence that didn't make it to trial-the numerous eyewitnesses who were not called to testify despite the important events they witnessed on April 19,1995. McVeigh was NOT the lone bomber and anyone who thinks so just does NOT have the facts at hand. GET THEM. Put this work of fiction down and honor the victims of the OKC bombing by seeking the TRUTH.
Spoiled by sympathy.......2003-08-27
An otherwise fine account of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Office Building in Oklahoma City is spoiled by being overly sympathetic & uncritical in its portrayal of Tim McVeigh. The book includes very good material about McVeigh, boosted by interviews with him ... & that's also its weakness. Perhaps the interviews drew the authors in a little too much to McVeigh. They didn't cross the line by much, but they did cross it. He is, after all, a mass murderer, even if he is also likeable. The portrayal of McVeigh's father is a particular strength of the book.
Fascinating and scary.......2003-07-09
Books about terrorists and sociopaths always seem to inspire reviewers to use words like "chilling." It may be a cliche, but this massive, exhaustively researched biography of Timothy McVeigh is just that -- chilling. You will be left with a good understanding of how McVeigh did it, and why he says he did it. I would have liked more psychological insights into McVeigh's state of mind, however. How does an intelligent kid from a pretty ordinary blue-collar family go from somewht alienated teenager (nothing atypical there) to decorated soldier to gun nut to obsessed drifter to mass murderer? At one point the book quotes McVeigh's court-appointed psychiatrist who says it's "unfortunate" that McVeigh didn't get some "counseling." Isn't that the understatement of the century!
You'll agree with his views, but not his actions........2003-05-29
I read this book, and it is an excellent study of McVeigh. However, let me point out that I read the hardcover version, which was published before Tim's execution. Still, Tim had many ups and downs of his life. I'm sure that many people, myself included, have some sort of disrespect for the government, and the authors present Tim's case remarkably presented. But instead of using letters to congressmen urging them to change the system, McVeigh decided to take human life to make his case. This shows how extreme hatred of the government can become if one's twisted mind believes that killing is the only way to be heard. Second, I kind of sympathize with some periods of McVeigh's life that I've pretty much led myself, such as isolation from the social world (except for, in McVeigh's case, gun enthisiasts). This is a must read and an alert that any crazy American can fight for rights by selfishly ending promising lives.

Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Serrano, who covered the story of the Oklahoma City bombing from the day it happened through the trial and conviction of Timothy McVeigh, examines McVeigh's background in extremist anti-government politics and retraces the steps that led to the deaths of 168 people and injuries to hundreds more.
Book Description
Abandoned by his mother as a child, betrayed by the army, enraged at the government's tactics at Waco, Timothy McVeigh undertook to avenge what the far right sees as the undoing of America. While the militias and fanatics ranted, McVeigh alone decided to act. He believed he was starting a revolution, but what he did was galvanize a nation against the very hatred he espoused. On April 19, 1995, terrorism struck the heartland of America: A cataclysmic explosion destroyed the Oklahoma City federal building, took the lives of 168 people, and injured more than 500 others. It was not the work of a secret foreign cabal or a maniacal suicide bomber. Instead, death drove a rented truck, and behind the wheel was a young white American male with the barest of knowledge at his fingertips--a driver's license to rent a van and a recipe for mixing farm fertilizer and fuel oil to make a bomb. Timothy McVeigh--son of the working class, an army hero, the kid next door--was about to become the worst mass-murderer in American history. Richard Serrano, a Los Angeles Times reporter, arrived in Oklahoma City with the fire engines still racing to the blast site, and he has never left the story. On the basis of hundreds of interviews, including an in-depth exclusive with McVeigh himself, Serrano takes us along on that wild ride crisscrossing America, as the bomb components are collected and a seemingly normal young man hardens his resolve to save the country he loves at the expense of the government he hates.

down with the crazies.......2004-08-31
serrano has done a fine job describing the cultural circumstances that give birth to a mcveigh. internal dialogue and other inovations in the book truly give us an in on the the man who blowed up OK city. i assume these musings are fairly accurate considering the amount of time serrano spent with mcveigh. serrano may be a faulkner fan. "a light in august" perhaps.
incidentaly, an interview with winston groom, author of "forest gump" reveals that gump is now president of the us; as the book was loosely based on George w bush years ago. down with more of the crazies, president or wild man in an orange jump suit they still love to blow things up.
Not new?.......2001-11-28
From the Columbia Journalism Review - DART to Los Angeles Times reporter Richard Serrano, latest nominee for membership in the Curious Coincidences Club. Serrano's book, One of Ours: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing, published by Norton in 1998, bears a number of striking resemblances to Brandon Stickney's All-American Monster: The Unauthorized Biography of Timothy McVeigh, published by Prometheus in 1996. Similarities between Serrano's unsourced volume and Stickney's extensively referenced work include substantive sentences and overall approach. Similarities also include a couple of trivial, though telling, mistakes -- to wit: "The Last Day," Stickley wrote of a 1980s film about "a notion of nuclear holocaust imbedded in [McVeigh's and his survivalist friends'] heads chronicles World War III's effect on a small town." "The Last Day," wrote Serrano about "[a movie] that took hold of [McVeigh] told the story of the effect of World War III on a small town." As Stickney had discovered after his book went to press, the correct title of the movie is The Day After.
Another Biased Author Makes a Buck.......2001-07-10
This book was written pretty much from the camp of the prosecution and the government's point of view that McVeigh acted alone in pulling off the biggest act of terrorism in American history. The author would have you believe that this 27-year-old drifter who was unable to find steady work had more know-how and ability to commit this act of terrorism than the IRA or any other hard core terrorist organization in the world. Terrorism experts from the UK who have been dealing with terrorist bombings for decades told the defense attorney that a bombing on this scale could not have been perpetrated by just two men. You won't read about this in this book, however, because the author is not interested in such points.
The author's bias comes through in every chapter; he is not, like the prosecution or America for that matter, interested in exposing the whole truth behind this dastardly attack. He just wants to paint the picture that the government wants you to believe and parade the emotionalism of the victims before you to sell a book.
The author also makes no effort to document his sources. You just have to take his word for it that his version of the story is the truth. He goes out of his way to tell you what the individuals involved were thinking, as if he has some amazing power to read minds, or to paint McVeigh and his associates in the worst possible light. In short, this book is not an objective look at what happened that day in 1995.
The fact remains that there is other evidence that was either not allowed in court or was overshadowed by the highly emotional testimony given by the victim's families that really bothers me. Like the fact that their were eight victims who lost their left legs in the bombing but there were nine left legs found. Or the allegation that that a call was made to the Justice Department in Washington by a person claiming to be a "nobody" across the street from the Murrah building immediately following the attack, but this call came in 30 minutes BEFORE it occurred. There are other things too, but no one, it seems, is really willing to detach themselves from their emotions to ferret out the whole truth to what went on that day in April, 1995. Why?
It was tragic that 168 people, including 19 children, died in that blast and it is heartbreaking to think of the loved ones who have lost so much but that is not what this should be about. It should be about finding out the whole truth as to who, what and why however painful for the government and dispensing real justice to those involved. This is supposed to be what the justice system is about not pinning the whole thing on some punk, railroading him in court and then dusting off their hands when he's executed and giving each other hearty slaps on the back and "atta boys" all around for the government.
Read this book but also read "Apocalypse in Oklahoma: Waco and Ruby Ridge Revenged, "Others Unknown: Timothy McVeigh and the Oklahoma City Bombing Conspiracy", "The Oklahoma City Bombing and the Politics of Terror" and others. They all offer different points of view but they never agree on what the whole truth is or who was involved. The point is that we are not being told the whole story for one reason or another. I am more interested in knowing why this other evidence is being pushed aside by the government and so should you.
A Missed Opportunity.......2001-03-01
Richard Serrano's account of the events leading up to the Oklahoma City bombing provides an overview of Timothy McVeigh's journey from rural upstate New York through his stint in the Army during the Gulf War to his brutal acts at the Murrah Office Building in Oklahoma.
What is frustrating about this book is Serrano's mixing of fabricated internal diaglogues and thoughts into the text of a non-fiction account. Serrano's visceral hatred of all guns and the people who own and shoot them also permeates the entire book.
Serrano on McVeigh as a young boy learning to shoot with his grandfather: "The rifle stock, pressed against his (McVeigh's) shoulder, the barrel squared, the squint of his eye, the glimmer of the target, and then, more than anything, more than bullet or boy, the sound of its (the gun's) voice. Here was true freedom."
Unless Serrano owns a time machine AND is psychic I'm not sure what a passage like that is doing in a book that claims to be non-fiction. Serrano's shallow pop psychology and his attempts at mind reading, combined with the appalling lack of footnotes, mar a book that had the potential to be the definitive account of a terrible tragedy.
One of the greatest books i've ever read on the bombing.......2001-01-18
I'm 17 and i've read up on the Oklahoma city bombing ever since it happened April 19, 1995. So far this is one of the greatest books i've ever read on the bombing, and beleive me i've read alot of them. It gives you step by step accounts of Timothy Mcveighs life, his family, his years of service in the United States Army, and after his time in the gulf war when driffted away from his family and his government. I couldnt put this book down,i rarely read anything unless it has to do with the OKCB, survival or military combat and martial arts.
