    Context is Everything
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023*

The Waco tragedy occurred when I was in college. As a young man, I didn’t have much more understanding of the events than the media provided me.In years since, I have been taught scripture and, by God’s favor, have taught the same. It is through this lens that I digested this book. It saddens me that God’s word is so perverted and taken out of context by men such as David Karesh. It is not that such evil men as Karesh exist that saddens me, but that there are so many people  with no basis in the truth of God’s word and the saving power of the gospel. That brings me to tears. The Branch Dividians, good hearted, from what I could tell, were ripped off by a snake oil salesmen (pun intended). In being mislead by a perversion of scripture, they became less than innocent of the polygamy and child rape that their leader mandated and normalized. Sin spreads a wide net.As to the gross government overreach that lead to the carnage and loss of innocent lives (the children) I should say they our overlords should be ashamed. But I won’t, because they aren’t. Looking at the events of Waco with 30 years of hindsight, the narrative spin and the over eager media ready to spring it on the world sound all to familiar,

This is actually my second copy of this book. I loan it out to everyone and they don't always make it home. If you are on the fence about purchasing- just do it. Especially if you think you know all about the events that were reported. I love the way this book is written, he shares his experiences, his own feelings and what took place inside. More people need to hear the stories that have been written about this tragedy.

    Tragedy at Mt. Carmel
  

*by B***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2004*

Most everyone knows about the federal government's disastrous debacle at Waco, Texas back in 1993. We have watched the testimonies, the congressional investigations, and the flames engulfing the building that housed the Branch Davidian religious sect. Some of us have even read books on the event, and many have been written. This book, written by survivor David Thibodeau, is one of the best yet.Thibodeau was right there, in the middle of the standoff with ATF and FBI agents, so his perspective is unique from others who have written about the event from the outside. Starting with the time when he first met David Koresh while playing in various bands in Los Angeles, Thibodeau talks about his interest in the Branch Davidians and explains what got him involved in the group; why he became interested in religion after never having much interest or instruction during his youth; why he decided to follow Koresh and his teachings; why he decided to stay at Mt. Carmel during the siege; how he handled the media and press following his escape from the fire; and his post- Mt. Carmel life, touring the country as an informational speaker.Thibodeau has a lot of anger to share in this book, not toward Koresh or the other members of the religious group, but toward the press and the U.S. government. He fully admits that Koresh wasn't perfect and that certain actions taken by Koresh (like sleeping with young girls) wasn't right and should have landed him in jail. But above all, he is most scornful of the media and the U.S. government. The members of the media acted like lap dogs during the siege, reporting on anything told to them by the ATF and FBI as if it were absolute truth. Thibodeau and the other members of the Davidians were saddened and angered by, for example, the reference to their group as a cult and the reference to their building as a compound. The various government reporting agencies promoted these terms to turn the public against the Davidians. Thibodeau is correct in his assertions about the government's actions in this area, and he makes some good points about this. It is true that Koresh himself was a little strange, but he was no real threat and the things he taught were hardly radical. If his teachings qualify the Branch Davidians as a cult, then many mainstream Protestant groups would also be cults. It is known, too, that the FBI deliberately prevented the release of a video tape that featured the different members of the group talking to the camera about their families and lives because the FBI was worried that, once the public saw this tape, they would see that these people were pretty ordinary and it would sway public opinion over to the Davidian's side.The government's handling of the investigation was purely political, with Democrats taking the side of the ATF and FBI, in order to protect the Clinton administration, and the Republicans taking the side of religious freedom in order to make Clinton and his administration look bad. Thibodeau talks about how sickening it was to watch this unfold. No one really seemed to care about truth or justice. All they cared about was protecting their own fellow politicians or making the opposing politicians look bad.The writing in this book is excellent, and Thisbodeau was very wise in making the decision to hire a professional editor to help with the work. Other victims of well- publicized tragedies have also written books, but many of them rely on their own amateurish writing skills to carry them through, often resulting in a book that is sub-par at best and that often fails to be as effective as it could have been. The writing in this book, thanks to the assistance of Leon Whiteson, is nearly flawless and it kept my attention throughout the reading.Thibodeau spends his time touring the nation now, giving speeches to different groups around the country about what happened and what needs to be done in the future to prevent any more Wacos. He shows some strong courage in writing this book, openly admitting that certain actions taken by his own friends were wrong and were deserving of punishment. But he places the bulk of the blame on the ATF and FBI for starting all the trouble in the first place. Like Ruby Ridge, Waco is yet another example of what can happen when government power goes unchecked. And Thibodeau makes a strong case for reigning in the power of government in this well- written, personal book about the tragedy at Waco that killed more than eighty people.
