Series 9: Waco Branch Davidian disaster, Texas, 1993-2003 (bulk 1993-1996), contains records related to Littell’s reaction to the events in Waco. When Littell served as visiting professor at Baylor University, he was moved by the tragic events of the 1993 siege upon the Mount Carmel Center, a compound belonging to the religious group Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh.  Littell described the siege as “a quasi-military assault, worthy of Nazi Germany or Soviet Russia…launched on a group of Americans of odd beliefs and practices.” Littell was not directly involved in any aspect of the 1993 attack on the Branch Davidians, but he collected clippings from newspapers across the United States and provided public commentary.
