{"product_id":"2940170091225","title":"Waco: A Survivor's Story","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAs a tie-in to the upcoming Paramount Network miniseries starring Michael Shannon, Taylor Kitsch, and Melissa Benoist and commemorating the 25th anniversary of the siege at Waco, comes an updated reissue of the critically acclaimed \u003ci\u003eA Place Called Waco\u003c\/i\u003e by Branch Davidian survivor, David Thibodeau.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the first time ever, a survivor of the Waco massacre tells the  inside story of Branch Davidians, David Koresh, and what really happened  at the religious compound in Texas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen he first met the man  who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was drumming for a rock band that was going nowhere fast. Intrigued and frustrated with a  stalled music career, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to  the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. He remained there until  April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burnt to the ground  after a 51-day standoff. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Thibodeau explores why so  many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired. We meet  the men, women, and children of Mt. Carmel. We get inside the day-to-day  life of the community. Thibodeau is brutally honest about himself,  Koresh, and the other members, and the result is a revelatory look at  life inside a cult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut \u003ci\u003eWaco\u003c\/i\u003e is just as brutally honest  when it comes to dissecting the actions of the United States government.  Thibodeau marshals an array of evidence, some of it never previously  revealed, and proves conclusively that it was our own government that  caused the Waco tragedy, including the fires. The result is a memoir  that reads like a thriller, with each page taking us closer to the  eventual inferno.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47098296729840,"sku":"2940170091225","price":25.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170091225_p0.jpg?v=1763701551","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170091225","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
