On February 28, 1993, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (BATF) launched a significant assault against a small religious community in Texas. One hundred agents invaded the compound with automatic and semi-automatic weapons to execute a search and arrest warrant. The raid resulted in the deaths of four agents, and the compound was eventually surrounded by armored tanks and helicopters. After a 51-day standoff, the Department of Justice approved the use of CS gas, which caused the compound to explode, killing all inside. This book provides a detailed analysis of the events surrounding Waco, examining the history of the Branch Davidians, media coverage, the role of religion and violence, expert involvement, and the legal and constitutional implications.
