Texas. David Thibodeau survived to tell the story.When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was a drummer in a local a rock band. Though he had never been religious in the slightest, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burned to the ground after a 51-day standoff with government authorities.In this compelling account -- now with an updated epilogue that revisits remaining survivors--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. We also understand Thibodeau's brutally honest assessment of the United States government's actions. The result is a memoir that reads like a thriller, with each page taking us closer to the eventual inferno.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eCategory: Narrative | Author: David Thibodeau | Co-author: Leon Whiteson | Epilogue updated with Aviva Layton's insights | Survived the 1993 Waco tragedy | One of the few Branch Davidians to endure Waco and avoid imprisonment\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52193859567904,"sku":"NEW1602865736","price":13.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91VXzQG-CSL.jpg?v=1786893430","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/waco-a-survivors-story-1602865736","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
