On the last hot day of summer in 1992, gunfire cracked over a rocky knob in northern Idaho, just south of the Canadian border. By the next day three people were dead, and a small war was joined, pitting the full might of federal law enforcement against one well-armed family. Drawing on extensive interviews with Randy Weaver's family, government insiders, and others, Jess Walter traces the paths that led the Weavers to their confrontation with federal agents and led the government to treat a family like a gang of criminals.
This is the story of what happened on Ruby Ridge: the tragic and unlikely series of events that destroyed a family, brought down the number-two man in the FBI, and left in its wake a nation increasingly attuned to the dangers of unchecked federal power.

Fascinating. I've been trying to read some non-fiction that deals with big events that I vaguely remember from my childhood or teenage years. I remember seeing snippets of news coverage regarding Ruby Ridge and then explanations of it as I got older. And I know that this event motivated Timothy McVeigh to carry out the Oklahoma City bombing due to the fact that he saw the government encroachment on private citizens as abhorrent and unacceptable. This book is all you really need in my opinion to get a clear picture of what took place on a secluded mountain ridge in northern Idaho. This is a case where all parties were at fault in some measure and the result was death and disaster. Excellent account and very well-written for those who want to know more about this event in our history.
I never realized that the incident at Waco involving Koresh & the Branch Davidians occurred during the criminal trial against Randy Weaver. On the fifth day of Weaver’s trial, the judge actually had to instruct the jury to disregard publicity about the Waco case. I certainly recall these incidents but details like this are one reason why this book was so readable. I think the author was very even-handed with a story that lends itself to lopsided views – either anti-government or anti-white separatist. The author is skeptical of many decisions that were made at the time of the arrest and trial, but he avoids most value judgments. The story (and the cast of characters) is interesting enough without injecting his own opinion. Well done. There is a photo insert towards the end. Once again (I’ve complained before to no avail) there is no mention of photos in the table of contents.
Walter has written one of the most detailed accounts of our Ruby Ridge Massacre as is out here. Everyone who reads this account will be held to the pages turning one after another unwilling to stop reading until the last page where most of us will breathe deeply, sigh, and shed a tear for each person murdered that day especially for Sammy, a boy of early teen years. Certainly I will read anything Walter has written about any topic, since I know the text will be adequately documented and written so well as to keep me reading marveling at how great it feels to read beautiful writing. His account of the shooting is among the best writing I have read.Walter is less focused on the courtroom details. Probably a good idea since most readers could not follow legal intricacies anyway. Clear enough summary though to understand the agents of ATF, U. S. Marshals, and FBI thug behavior. And clear enough to understand prosecutors' function has devolved into a function of deceit, abuse, and outright illegalities. Accountability absent to reign in actions of prosecutors, which has become essentially legalized thug behavior. I learned that the Judge of the case, on a spectrum, mirrors extremism that he accuses the Weavers of being. This Judge in his position as a Judge did not function in accordance with our Constitution that established the Judiciary branch of our government. This Judge functioned based upon his hate toward those with whom he disagreed. And he violently disagreed with Randy and Vicki Weaver.If the leaders and agents of FBI were held accountable for destroying evidence, withholding vital evidence, refusing to act legally, telling and spreading lies, and abuse of power, then each one of these goons would be charged with a felony. Then charged with murder. The sniper included. This guy should have been tried for murder.Walter's Ruby Ridge should be taught in every high school class of American History, Government, and Literature in America; of course, I know it will not be taught much less read by too many high school students. If I were still teaching, I would trace a particular history from the Constitutional debate about the various notions of the role of a federal government through to the present. Two books must be at the top of the list for study: Orwell's Nineteen Eighty Four (1949) and Walter's Ruby Ridge (1995). I am speaking about "thought control", Orwell's term. For the time period of our modern American history, I will use Foucault's notion of power and the exercise of power through the absolute management of discourse. As an overlay to these two texts, one fiction the other nonfiction, Foucault's notions describes how easily duped are federal government agents. In other words, well meaning American people working as agents in ATF, U.S. Marshals, and FBI from within their profound ignorance of basic Constitutional principles become brainwashed self-righteous, and violent crusaders of their own peculiar mind-set far outside human reason. Once duped, these federal agents fail to understand that they are wrong and they will even use snipers to murder those who disagree with them. This federal agent mind-set threatens our American way of life established by the principles of our Constitution in a far greater sense than do these crazies who believe in white separatism, white supremacists, or, in fact, in other kind of pure race claim including Zionist Jewish belief that they are chosen as the pure race of God - notice these purists and their actions in America and in the Middle East region. Our Constitution establishes equality. Let's try to maintain this principle and hold accountable these out of control federal agents. When we sane and decent Americans prosecute leaders, for instance, Freeh, Reno, and others, we will see less of this insanely illegal behavior.Walter's Ruby Ridge should be in every family household.
My opinion of the book and author nose dived when he attributed feelings and thoughts into the heads of William Denton and Vicky Weaver, both of whom were killed. You want to pass something off as real then don't engage in a creative writing exercise with dead people's emotions. We do not know what Bill and Vicky thought or felt during their final hours.I believe during the mission the Marshalls acted in a cowardly and pathetic manner. It was not their greatest moment that is for certain.
Once I started this book, I could not put it down! It was distubing and sad on many levels. Poor decisions and intransigence on both sides. I recall this tragedy as it unfolded and appreciate the in-depth look provided by the author.
A good account of a sad and unnecessary event. Well written because it is sympathetic to no party, protecting neither the careless and vicious government agents, nor cowardly, racist and and weak-willed Randy, nor his foolish and self-deluded wife. A good study on how putting bad people together gives an ugly result.
