"Up In Arms" - How the Criminal and the Ignorant Take Over Our Public Lands

John Temple's "Up in Arms: How the Bundy Family Hijacked Public Lands, Outfoxed the Federal Government, and Ignited America’s Patriot Militia Movement", follows the Bundy Family from their robbery of public lands in Nevada through their take over of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.  It documents how these yahoos built a movement of fellow travelers and disaffected loners to attack public land ownership in the American West.  Here's a link to the review in The Revelator:

While Up in Arms gives a detailed view of the ideology that motivates the Bundys, the story is much bigger than them. It’s also an exploration of the motivations of some of the most hardline anti-federal militants in the country — not just the Bundys, but the ragbag collection of so-called Patriot movement followers that flocked to their ranch, even when most of them lacked understanding of public-lands issues and the cause they were backing.
