Reavis brings to the task an impressive array of official documents and interviews, including the complete transcripts of all the FBI's negations with the Branch Davidians. . . . That he, a skeptical journalist who never quite leaves his secularist amazement aside, could come to comprehend David Koresh is surely testimony to the possibility that had FBI agents been encouraged to do so, they might similarly have come to understand the 'Bible Babble' they merely dismissed., Reavis has sifted the mass of available evidence . . . to create a more damning portrait of official hubris, incompetence and deceit.

Synopsis
This text examines the events at Waco, Texas from both sides - the ATF and the FBI on one hand, and Koresh and his followers on the other. It argues that the government had little reason to investigate Koresh, that it lied about what happened, and that the FBI was negligent in gassing Mt. Carmel., Examined from both sides - the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the FBI on one hand, and David Koresh and his followers on the other - this text focuses on the events at Mt. Carmel, near Waco Texas. Dick J. Reavis contends that the government had little reason to investigate Koresh, and even less to raid the compound at Mt. Carmel. The government lied to the public about most of what happened - about who fired the first shots, about drugs allegations, and about the child abuse. The FBI was duplicitous and negligent in gassing Mt. Carmel - and that alone could have started the fire that killed 76 people., This is the story the daily press didn't give us. It may be the definitive book about what happened at Mt. Carmel, near Waco, Texas, examined from both sides--the Bureau of Alcohol and Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the FBI on one hand, and David Koresh and his followers on the other. Dick J. Reavis contends that the government had little reason to investigate Koresh and even less to raid the compound at Mt. Carmel. The government lied to the public about most of what happened--about who fired the first shots, about drug allegations, about child abuse. The FBI was duplicitous and negligent in gassing Mt. Carmel-and that alone could have started the fire that killed seventy-six people. Drawing on interviews with survivors of Koresh's movement (which dates back to 1935), as well as from esoteric religious tracts and audiotapes, and previously undisclosed government documents, Reavis uncovers the real story of the burning at Waco, including the trial that followed. The author quotes from Koresh himself to create an extraordinary portrait of a movement, an assault, and an avoidable tragedy.

CD was described as "new," but was actually "like new," since there was no factory wrapping and the case was scratched with a bit of wear and tear. However, the disc and inserts were mint/like new, which is all that matters to me.

The seller contacted me immediately after purchase to say that it was not factory-sealed, asking "if that was OK." This is tantamount to an admission--without being explicit--that the listing as NEW was fraudulent. When I contacted seller after receiving the item, the seller said that I could return it (presumably at my own expense). This is simply unacceptable.
