Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco.

Armour, Ian D.
- Abstract
The given text is a review of a book titled "Koresh: The True Story of David Koresh and the Tragedy at Waco." The book explores the decline of Georgian houses in Dublin's city center, specifically focusing on Henrietta Street. It provides a detailed account of the living conditions in Dublin's tenements and traces the history of the street from the late eighteenth century to the late twentieth century. The book is well-illustrated and includes relevant color plates and photographs. It also offers comprehensive notes, a bibliography, and an explanation of abbreviations used throughout the book. The reviewer mentions that the book does not provide a clear understanding of what motivated David Koresh, the leader of the Branch Davidians, and criticizes the author for relying on a confusing narrative. The reviewer suggests that there is room for a more in-depth analysis of the Waco tragedy and its impact on American society's perception of the government.
