A&E -- American Justice Attack at Waco

In an unyielding quest for truth, AMERICAN JUSTICE analyzes the tragic assault on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. Who was responsible? Why did the Justice Department believe David Koresh was a menace? When did agents from Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms decide to use deadly force? ATTACK AT WACO answers these questions by painstakingly taking apart the federal authorities' case and examining the timing, techniques, and tactics that led to the gruesome outcome. Interviews with officials and survivors and extensive footage much of it previously unreleased highlight the dramatic account of the disaster. What is learned from disasters like this is essential to the future of justice in America.
