Armageddon in Waco: Critical Perspectives on the Branch Davidian Conflict
Wright, Stuart A., ed. Armageddon in Waco: Critical Perspectives on the Branch Davidian Conflict. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1995.
Why this matters here
Wright’s edited volume gathers critical perspectives on Branch Davidian history, the 1993 ATF raid, standoff, and fire, documenting competing evaluations of the conflict. When Interpretation No Longer Matters uses Waco as a dated case of epistemic enclosure: abundant internal interpretation with failed permeability, where outside pressure is pre-digested as confirmation rather than allowed to correct the story.
