Synopsis
"He called himself the Son of God, he led his followers into darkness..." Television reporter Martin King is the only journalist who spent time with David Koresh in the Waco compound. In this amazing first-hand account, King tells how Vernon Howell - a ninth-grade dropout - became David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians, a religious cult that unquestioningly supplied him with money, arms and under-age girls who became his 'wives'. The book also reveals the rise and fall of David Koresh through the eyes of his right-hand man, Marc Breault. With growing horror Breault watched the child-beatings, sexual excesses and strange forms of punishment instigated by the possessed preacher. After escaping the cult and fleeing to Australia, Breault appealed to the authorities for help, but his efforts to warn people of the time bomb that was ticking away at Waco were to no avail. Here, together with Martin King, he reveals the terrible truth about the man who believed he was the Son of God.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is the story of the self-professed Son of God, who became the leader of sect known as the "Branch Davidians". Rarely has religious fervour ended so tragically with so much paranoia and annihilation. Martin King is one of the few outsiders who spent time with David Koresh in the Waco compound. In this first-hand account, King tells how Vernon Howell - a ninth-grade drop-out - became David Koresh, leader of a world-wide religious cult which supplied him with new members, money and 20 "wives" aged 12 to 70. The book also reveals the rise of David Koresh through the eyes of ex-cult member, Marc Breault. He watched the possessed preacher transform from a passionate leader into a dangerous psychopath with a passion for under-age girls and high-powered weapons. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001693493

It is the story of a deluded maniac who exerted a hypnotic influence over his followers and committed many crimes without any legal constraints being brought to bear on him or his sect.
