John L. Smith: Saints, Sinners, and Sovereign Citizens: The Endless War over the West's Public Lands (2021)

Detailed overview of the context of the Bunkerville protest

In this book, John L. Smith takes the reader on a detailed journey of Cliven Bundy's protest and subsequent trials while putting it into context of over a century of land use issues affecting the American West.

The path meanders a bit, but it also leaves little to chance. If you want to know how the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the Dann sisters, and Harvey Whittemore all connect to the Bundy protests, this is likely the only book you'll read that can draw that connection for you.
