Description

This examination of the 1993 Waco tragedy, which resulted in the death of four federal agents and 80 members of the Branch Davidians, including 17 children, offers a balanced account. The authors have carefully studied the tenuous relationship between the Branch Davidians and the federal government, as well as the two decades of intense media activity which have profoundly influenced public perceptions of unorthodox religions in America. In exploring our fear of unconventional religious groups and how such fear curtails our ability to tolerate religious differences, "Why Waco?" should prove to be an unsettling wake-up call.
