Sagebrush Collaboration: How Harney County Defeated the Takeover of the Malheur Wildlife Refuge

Focusing on the 2016 militia occupation of Harney County and the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, the narrative reveals how local citizens, through years of collaboration and community building, effectively countered the militants' anti-federal government claims. The book argues that the militants' failure stemmed from their underestimation of the community's established capacity to address the issues they sought to exploit, highlighting the strength of local governance and collective problem-solving.
