Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. Cover by Jeanne Suprynowicz (illustrator). 1st Edition. "First state" with darker blue cover. Nationally syndicated columnist Vin Suprynowicz's acclaimed first book of non-fiction essays,"Send in the Waco Killers" was ranked among the "Top 100 Nonfiction Books Published in English Since 1900." In an Online poll, the Random House Modern Library found readers ranked it in ninth place (below Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness" but above F. A. Hayek's "The Road to Serfdom.") "Waco Killers" was named 1999's "Freedom Book of the Year" by the folks at a Free-market Web site which we are not allowed to name here. From the rear cover: "Your right to a trial by a randomly selected jury -- not one stacked with jurors who swear to convict in advance -- is gone. The IRS can now seize your bank account, paycheck, and house -- without so much as a judge's order. Your banker will help them. Vietnam veterans and their wives, and 68-year-old engineers, are in federal prisons on 'drug' charges -- despite the fact that they never sold, touched, or even saw a single gram of cocaine or marijuana. . How did we get to this point? Is there any peaceful way back from the toboggan ride to tyranny? The answers are in 'Send in the Waco Killers,' by America's syndicated Libertarian columnist, Vin Suprynowicz." Reduced from $29. Signed by Author(s).

(From the dust jacket) Whole cities can exist for centuries and never have a citizen who cares as much as Roger Conger has cared for Waco, the Texas city where he grew up and spent most of his long adult life. The trait that distinguishes his work as a writer, however, is not only his affection for his hometown, but the quality of his relationships with his subjects and his fellow Wacoans. He writes as a businessman and a gentleman whose conduct is marked by respect for others and his own self-respect. And, he is indigenous. He is down-to-earth, bur never bawdy; there is always a safety net of discretion beneath the surface of his writings. At the same time, you find not a word that is self-righteous, arrogant, or overblown for in his writings you find the authentic Roger Conger. His style is easy, entertaining, and gripping while hewing to the line of accuracy. He is a master of the factual storyteller's art. This volume of writings by Texas' best-loved lay historian is published to note the fiftieth year since he first published?but Roger is not a writer only, far from it. A retired manufacturing executive, his service to his city has long touched the lives of all who visit or live in Waco. Read about his seminal role in establishment of Waco Lions Park: his steadfast and surpassingly effective role as a collector of Wacoana made available to the public through the Waco Public Library and the Texas Collection at Baylor University; his genuine willingness to effectively chair a hundred committees, commissions, and other organizations during his lifetime (he was mayor of Waco in 1964-65); his pivotal role in the establishment and growth of Fort Fisher, the world's best display of Texas Ranger memorabilia. He is indisputably the primary force that created public understanding of the historical value of the Waco Suspension Bridge. This single-span passage over the Brazos River was built in 1868-69 to carry all kinds of livestock, horse-drawn vehicles, and pedestrians. Today it is open only to pedestrians. In its landscaped setting, the grand old bridge is a favored outdoor spot for dances, weddings, festivals, and especially is it a favorite haunt of strollers enjoying the city's town lake. Both Fort Fisher and the Suspension Bridge are property of the City of Waco. You will find letters in this new book which cement Roger Conger's early role in saving Earle-Harrison and Earle-Napier-Kinnard houses from demolition, and his leadership in acquisition and restoration of East Terrace, and much, much more. MARION TRAVIS, Conger's editor and bibliographer, has a long track record of support of Waco as a writer, editor and publicist. For almost 10 years, from 1963 until 1972, in her job as a staff writer for the Waco Tribune Herald she was solely responsible for communicating and promoting the history activity of Waco.

'From 1869 to 1918 more than 1,200 women lived as prostitutes in Waco, Texas--once known as "Six Shooter Junction." When the city legalized its red light district, prostitutes flocked to Waco, where saloons and bordellos boomed. This book examines the city's complex stance on prostitution, debunks myths, and unveils--for the first time--the true identities of several early madams. It also tells the story of preacher J. T. Upchurch's crusade to reform prostitutes and abolish their profession.'. Signed by Author(s).

Signed by author. Brand new, never read Personally signed by the author directly to the full title page. Not a tip in. Not a bookplate. Dust jacket wrapped in archival grade Mylar. The definitive account of the disastrous siege at the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas, featuring never-before-seen documents, photographs, and interviews, from former investigative reporter Jeff Guinn, bestselling author of Manson and The Road to Jonestown. For the first time in thirty years, more than a dozen former ATF agents who participated in the initial February 28, 1993, raid speak on the record about the poor decisions of their commanders that led to this deadly confrontation. Revelations in this book include why the FBI chose to end the siege with the use of CS gas; how both ATF and FBI officials tried and failed to cover up their agencies mistakes; where David Koresh plagiarized his infamous prophecies; and direct links between the Branch Davidian tragedy and the modern militia movement in America. Notorious conspiracist Alex Jones is a part of the Waco story. So much is new, and stunning. Guinn puts you alongside the ATF agents as they embarked on the disastrous initial assault, unaware that the Davidians knew they were coming and were armed and prepared to resist. Drawing on this new information, including several eyewitness accounts, Guinn again does what he did with his bestselling books about Charles Manson and Jim Jones, shedding new light on a story that we thought we knew.
