'A searing account...This well-researched and enlightening book is un-put-downable.
Koresh reads like a fever dream, with the quality of a timeless tragedy... if you think you know what really happened at Waco and why, think again.
Someday, when this book gets made into a blockbuster movie, you will say that the book was better.
Burns with timely relevance and urgency... will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
Clear-eyed and compelling.
Exposes not only the tragedy’s causes but embers that still burn today.

'Talty captures the chilling realities of bloody battlefields, tense war rooms and besieged London... Elegantly crafted' Wall Street Journal. 'Thrilling... An extraordinary crime story with a genuine American hero too long forgotten'
