The Ashes of Waco: An Investigation
by Dick J. Reavis
Waco; A Travesty
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. Drawing on
interviews with survivors of Koreshs movement (which dates back to
1935), as well as from esoteric religious tracts and audiotapes, and
previously undisclosed government documents, Reavis uncovers the story
of the burning at Waco, including the trial that followed. The author quotes
from Koresh himself to create a portrait of a movement, an assault and an
avoidable tragedy.

Dick Reavis makes his case that the government had little reason to
investigate Koresh and even less to raid the compound at Mount 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 Mount Carmel and that alone
could have started the fire that killed 76 people.
I would also recommend looking into the video evidence (FLIR) that shows
gunfire from the federal agents.
