Waco: David Koresh, the Branch Davidians, and a Legacy of Rage.

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.

Dear @GeorgeTakei, I'm listening to Peter Iron's A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE SUPREME COURT. The part about the internment of Japanese-Americans. It's so shameful. I hope the gov't apology was meaningful.

You know how we keep saying, "How did we get here?" Ty Seidule's book ROBERT E. LEE AND ME goes a long way toward the answer. It's a great read, and he's the reader alouder on the audio book.

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.

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.

I don't know if @BillieJeanKing purposely grew up trying to make a life that would make a great autobiography, but she did. Her book ALL IN is really terrific.
