For a shocking period of 51 days in the Spring of 1993, heavily armed government agents had laid siege to the home of the Branch Davidian religious movement, after hearing that the cult - led by David Koresh - were stockpiling weapons.

The man behind it all ‘really wanted to be a rock star’, says Kevin Cook, author of Waco Rising, a chronicle of the siege. The Branch Davidian members were ‘a shockingly diverse group of people’, adds Russell. ‘Some of them were local people who had never been out of rural areas their entire lives, others came from around the world. Some had higher education degrees, and some just wanted to play in a rock and roll band. But the thing that united them was a desire to connect with God.’

The ATF were pushed back into a stalemate. Koresh, speaking with negotiators after this first assault, boasted that the government had gotten their ‘big butts whooped’ – but the authorities had far from given up, and as federal law enforcers had been killed during the initial raid, the FBI now took control of the situation.
‘Waco is an example of a profound failure to communicate,’ says Russell. ‘No one could hear anyone else talking’.
