This is an interesting and rather neutral telling of the events of April 19, 1985, in thst it blames both the FBI/ATF and the Branch Davidians for the massacre in the Mount Carmel compound. David Koresh was a deeply sick individual for his sexual abuse of young girls and his knowingly putting his followers in harms way. The US government massively mishandled the initial siege and continued to mishandle the situation until the eventual catastrophe. This book was a fast, informative, and well written read.
