520    "Norco '80 tells the story of how 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, forever changing the face
       of American law enforcement. Part action thriller and part
       courtroom drama, Norco '80 transports the reader back to 
       the Southern California of the 1970s, an era of predatory 
       evangelical gurus, doomsday predictions, megachurches, and
       soaring crime rates, with the threat of nuclear 
       obliteration looming over it all. In this riveting true 
       story, 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 shook the community to the core, 
       raising 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." -- Dust jacket.
