When Mark Swett's site closed we made some of this material available.

ABOUT THIS SITE

Having read through all this information, it is clear that the large amount of primary documents makes it difficult to see the woods for the trees, and there is a need for a site providing an overview and context for the other documents. The purpose of this site therefore is to provide a five minute introduction to the Branch Davidians, some background information, and a summary of each document I have read. Once the reader has this background information, they will be better placed to understand the material at the other web sites.
