Under his leadership Harvest Trust ventured into the publishing trade. The first book under the Harvest Trust imprint was Oklahoma City: Day One by Michele Marie Moore... the definitive classic on the Oklahoma City bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Shortly after the bombing of the Murrah Building, Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo by Bill Clinton during his broadcast which named William Cooper, "...the most dangerous radio host in America". This comment is believed to be a direct result of Mr. Cooper's radio show, where he plainly pointed out the discrepancies and inconsistencies in the government's account of the Murrah Building attack. Mr. Cooper considered President Clinton's pronouncement the greatest compliment that he ever received. In November of 2001, Milton William Cooper was killed in a controversial shootout with the Apache County, Arizona Sheriff's Department during a raid on his home. Deputies were attempting to serve a warrant for his arrest.
