David Thibodeau (Author) David Thibodeau was born and raised in Maine. He is one of only four Branch Davidians who survived the Waco, Texas massacre who was not sentenced to prison.

"A disquieting portrait of a religious community and its enigmatic
leader."
--Kirkus Reviews
"An extraordinary account of one of the most shameful episodes in
recent American history. I wish that everyone in the country could
read this book."
--Howard Zinn
"Honest... [about] whether the excessive force used by our
government against American citizens was really
necessary."--Lincoln Star Journal
"Thibodeau, one of only four Branch Davidians to live through the
Waco disaster and not be sentenced to jail, has produced a
surprisingly balanced and honest account of his time as a Branch
Davidian. Neither sensationalist nor defensive, this will make
satisfying reading for anyone interested in the April 1993
tragedy."
--Kirkus Review
"This book gives a rare glimpse of life at Mount Carmel and an
account of how that attack contrasts with the 'official' government
version. With the renewed interest in this siege, this book is
recommended for public libraries."
--School Library Journal
"This narrative defies many of our media-mediated preconceptions of
Koresh's followers."
--Booklist
