Waco: David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and a Legacy of Rage.
Jeff Guinn
I just finished listening to WACO by Jeff Guinn. It's very good. It sounds like no one ever asked, nor answered why the Branch Davidians were stockpiling all of those guns. There are no good reasons.

The Third Reich: A History of Nazi Germany
Thomas Childers
Agin, just so everyone knows, I have been listening to THE THIRD REICH A History of Nazi Germany, by Thomas Childers, not THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH. I have a feeling they end the same. If you know how it ends, though, don't tell me.

There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say
Paula Poundstone
By the way, @BeschlossDC, in my book, THERE'S NOTHING IN THIS BOOK THAT I MEANT TO SAY, I very clearly write that the Magoo Scrooge is the definitive one. I'm guessing you forget that since you read my book.
