Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Although meticulously reasoned, closely written, and heavily freighted with detail, this book, Kopel says, is not the last word on the Branch Davidian^-federal cop encounter at Waco. Such won't be possible, he maintains, until a mountain of evidence is released from wherever the government stashed it and until important witnesses can recant their lies without being charged with perjury. Meanwhile, Kopel argues from pillar to post that the government, through either incompetence or malice, brought on the Waco tragedy and well might precipitate similar micro-Armageddons in the future. So arguing, Kopel produces a book about "federal law enforcement lawlessness" on a grand scale that is either scary because it is true, or scary because it isn't, yet someone who believes it is true takes the time and trouble to research and write a book like this. And either way, it is something that should be put before the public. Mike Tribby
Midwest Book Review
What's wrong with common federal law enforcement policies? They often pinpoint innocent people as crime suspects, killing those who are not criminals. Ordinary citizens face danger from agents employed by the government to serve and protect, the authors maintain: this documents numerous Waco-type incidents and analyzes common confrontations between enforcement personnel and civilians, offering solutions to problems and addressing such issues as flawed search warrants and differences between religious and criminal suspects. A "must" for any legal library or college offering law enforcement courses.
