Waco
David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and a Legacy of Rage
Book • 2023
This book provides a thorough examination of the Branch Davidians and the 51-day federal siege at their compound in Waco, Texas.
Jeff Guinn delves into the history of the group, from its origins in the Seventh Day Adventist Church to the rise of David Koresh as its leader.
The book includes new details from interviews with former ATF agents, explores the poor decisions made by commanders, and discusses the cover-up attempts by ATF and FBI officials.
Guinn also draws connections between the Waco tragedy and the modern militia movement in America, including the Oklahoma City bombing and the January 6, 2021, insurrection.
The narrative is rich with eyewitness accounts and previously unseen documents and photographs.
