Summary:
"Southern California, the 1970s. Five heavily armed young men-- led by an apocalyptic born-again Christian-- attempted a bank robbery that turned into one of the most violent criminal events in U.S. history. Houlahan explains how a group of landscapers transformed into a murderous gang of bank robbers armed to the teeth with military-grade weapons. Their desperate getaway turned the surrounding towns into war zones. When it was over, three were dead and close to twenty wounded; a police helicopter was forced down from the sky, and thirty-two police vehicles were destroyed by thousands of rounds of ammo. The resulting trial raised many issues that continue to plague society today: from the epidemic of post-traumatic stress disorder within law enforcement to religious extremism and the militarization of local police forces."--From publisher.
