Why Waco? Cults & The Battle For Religious Freedom In America by James D. Tabor
Cults and the Battle for Religious Freedom in America
A concise examination of the 1993 Waco siege that argues the tragedy stemmed from misunderstandings of the group’s religious beliefs, aggressive law-enforcement tactics, and failures to protect religious freedom. It contextualizes the group’s apocalyptic theology and leader’s role, critiques ATF and FBI actions and negotiation breakdowns, and urges reforms for how U.S. authorities and society respond to unfamiliar or controversial religious movements.
