They have my cattle and now they have one of my boys. Range War begins tomorrow at Bundy Ranch.\"\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese words, pounded out on a laptop at Cliven Bundy's besieged Nevada ranch on April 6, 2014, ignited a new American revolution. Across the country, a certain type of citizen snapped to attention: This was the flashpoint they'd been waiting for, a chance to help a fellow American stand up to a tyrannical and corrupt federal government. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eUp in Arms\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles how an isolated clan of desert-dwelling Mormons became the guiding light--and then the outright leaders--of America's Patriot movement. The nation was riveted in 2014 when hundreds of Bundy supporters, many of them armed, forced federal agents to abandon a court-ordered cattle roundup. Then in 2016, Ammon Bundy, one of Cliven's 13 children, led a 41-day armed takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThose events and the subsequent shootings, arrests, and trials captured headlines, but they're just part of a story that has never been fully told. John Temple, award-winning journalist and author of \u003ci\u003eAmerican Pain\u003c\/i\u003e, gives readers an unprecedented and objective look at the real people and families at the heart of these highly publicized standoffs. \u003ci\u003eUp in Arms\u003c\/i\u003e offers a propulsive narrative populated by rifle-toting cowboys, apocalyptic militiamen, undercover infiltrators, and the devout and charismatic Bundys themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNeither mainstream nor conservative media outlets have contextualized the religious, political, environmental, and economic factors that set the stage for these events. \u003ci\u003eUp in Arms\u003c\/i\u003e provides a framework for understanding this diverse collection of American rebels who believe government overreach justifies the taking up of arms.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46319446327447,"sku":"9781946885951","price":2429.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781946885951.webp?v=1767713244","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/up-in-arms-how-the-bundy-family-hijacked-public-lands-outfoxed-the-federal-government-and-ignited-americas-patriot-militia-movement-9781946885951","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
