The Waco Siege: An American Tragedy By Jack Rosewood Kindle Edition Crime The Waco Siege: An American Tragedy During fifty one days in early 1993 one of the most tragic events in American crime history unfolded on the plains outside Waco, Texas. An obscure and heavily armed religious sect called the Branch Davidians was barricaded inside their commune and outside were hundreds of law enforcement angry because the former had killed four ATF agents in a botched raid. Open the pages of this book and go on an engaging and captivating ride to examine one of the most important true crime stories in recent decades. Read the shocking true story of how a man the government considered a psychopath, but whose followers believed to be a prophet, led a breakaway sect of the Seventh Day Adventist Church into infamy.You will follow the meteoric rise of the Branch Davidians’ charismatic leader, David Koresh, as he went from an awkward kid in remedial classes to one of the most infamous cult leaders in world history. But the story of the Waco Siege begins long before the events of 1993. At the core of the conflict between the Branch Davidians and the United States government were ideas and interpretations of religious freedom and gun ownership, which as will be revealed in the pages of this book, a considerable philosophical gulf existed between the two sides. David Koresh and the Branch Davidians carried on a long tradition in American and Texas history of religious dissent, but in 1993 that dissent turned tragically violent.You will find that beyond the standard media portrayals of the Waco Siege was an event comprised of complex human characters on both sides of the firing line and that perhaps the most tragic aspect of the event was that the extreme bloodshed could have been avoided.The pages of this book will make you angry, sad, and bewildered; but no matter the emotions evoke, you will be truly moved by the events of the Waco Siege.

The waco siegeh hair Beyond the paramilitary training camps in rural Americathat the militias used to train their members manyaverage Americans began to question if the governmentreally had their best interests in mind Truly today manythirty and forty something Americans Generation X point to the Waco Siege as a defining moment in theirchildhoods and young adulthoods where they first cameto the realization that life is not always fair and that asgood as the United States is it also has some obviousinherent problems. The Waco siegecraft commander After the Waco Siege the issues of religious freedomand gun ownership two bedrocks of American culturethat are codified in the United States Constitution alsoentered mainstream political debates People askedquestions such as the following how many guns shouldpeople be allowed to own and how much freedomshould be given to non mainstream religious groups Although the Waco Siege only lasted fifty one days thestory of how it happened and the ramifications it had onAmerican society is quite complex Waco was a trueAmerican tragedy one that clearly could have beenavoided but also one where people on both sidesaggravated the situation In that respect the story of theWaco Siege is a cautionary tale because unfortunately itcould happen again The Waco Siege An American Tragedy I wanted to read a book about the Waco siege so I could have some basis of knowledge before watching a new televised dramatization called Waco Waco is one of the events I knew well enough by name and vaguely what had happened but never dug deep enough to get a clear picture This book is a short read and gives an excellent short history of the Seventh day Adventist Church and theological beliefs and practices of the Branch Davidians as well as useful unbiased details about the siege One part I found to particularly noteworthy is when the author describes a series of articles from 1993 published soon after the siege in the Waco Tribune Herald called The Sinful Messiah The author Jack Rosewood is very critical of these articles for various reasons but one criticism in particular was that the journalists described the residents of Mount Carmel Waco as white backwards uneducated rednecks He corrects this by pointing out that many of the residents were not local sometimes from abroad Also that many were non white ethnically asian black hispanic etc. The waco siege crimes and that many held higher education degrees This reminded me of the common prejudice that Islamic terrorists are likely to be uneducated backwards poor cave dwellers When in fact multiple studies have discovered this to be false There are an equal amount of examples of well educated and upper middle class terrorists many originating from wealthy countries It was interesting to see an example within the USA of a Christian based militia that also did not fit a similar preconception and the public assumptions were similar to today I recommend the book for those wishing to familiarize themselves with the Waco siege but prefer a short read I also look forward to watching the TV show The Waco Siege An American Tragedy The Waco Siege An American Tragedy Hoping History Doesn t Repeat The Waco Siege An American Tragedy could not be any relevant to public discussion than it is right now what with the current occupation of a Federal property in Oregon by an armed militia The author does an excellent job of describing what happened at the Branch Davidian s complex He does an adequate description of David Koresh his beliefs and actions I wish that he would have covered thoroughly the law enforcement agencies side rather than concentrating on his perceived schism between two factions of the FBI That being said the book does a good job of pointing out that mistakes were made on both sides that of Koresh and of the government And that the tragedy might have been avoided with taking time to try to reach a resolution Finally the author does a great job of connecting the Waco tragedy with the rise of today s militias And that a open process of releasing information by the government might lead to a lessening of the paranoia of today s militia groups This is a very quick read coming in at about 20000 words The pacing is smooth the writing style good Let s hope that we have all learned from what occurred in Waco and that the current occupation will end peacefully with no loss of life The Waco Siege An American Tragedy This book came up in my review list at a really unique time As the Oregon standoff is taking place I read the story of Waco I agree that Koresch and what was going on especially with underage girls was not something that most any of us would agree with But even people that left the compound saying that nothing happened without the parents permission I do not understand why ATF or the FBI felt the need to even get involved The further I read into this the I wondered WHAT our government was thinking I was given a copy of this book for my honest review If you read this and have been watching what as been going on in Oregon you may have a few questions of your own Obviously the government has not learned anything in 50 years The Waco Siege An American Tragedy
