Waco

Investigative reporter and bestselling author Jeff Guinn draws on never-before-seen documents and interviews with participants who have not previously spoken to any writer to give us the definitive account of the disastrous siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, that has become a rallying cry for anti-government groups for thirty years.

Reviews

“Riveting. . . . As the author did in previous reports on Charles Manson and Jonestown, Guinn dives deeply into his subject to present a vivid combination of well-researched facts, personal testimonials, and controversial perspectives. A convincing and chilling coda to this investigation is the correlations Guinn draws among the Davidian compound raid, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, and the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.”
