David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and A Legacy of Rage
Waco
Jeff Guinn
Bestselling author of Manson and The Road to Jonestown
In memory of Iris Chang: Historian and Hero
A fog of crosscutting motives and narratives, a complexity that defies storybook simplicity: that is usually the way history happens.
RICK PERLSTEIN, THE INVISIBLE BRIDGE
Victor Houteff founded the organization originally known as the Shepherds Rod, then later as the Davidians. The proper term for the group subsequently led by Ben Roden is Branch Davidians. When Lois Roden moved into the leadership, for a time she called her followers the Living Waters, but they ultimately remained the Branch Davidians. David Koresh did not emphasize a group name. Most followers led by Koresh identified themselves as Bible students, or, less frequently, as Students of the Seven Seals. In 1993, the name on the deed to Mount Carmel was General Association of the Branch Davidian Seventh-day Adventists, so members of the media covering the initial ATF raid and subsequent fifty-one-day FBI siege identified the besieged as Branch Davidians in their reports. Since this is the name ingrained in public consciousness, its the one I use most frequently in this book.

Prominent defense attorney Dick DeGuerin was hired by Bonnie Haldeman to represent her son, David Koresh.
