The Monkey Wrench Gang

by Edward Abbey

ISBN: 038000741x

If you ever run out of patience with the mainstream culture's handling of environmental issues (like suspending laws in the national forests, cutting down trees on weekends when officials can't intervene and other dirty tricks), perhaps you occasionally fantasize about "fighting fire with fire". If so, this book should be most entertaining. If you think this type of literature about "terrorism" is dangerous because it might promote real-life violence, then I would say you're a hypocrite unless you hold the same views about run-of-the-mill Hollywood violence. As always, if you want peace-- work for justice. I hope this book scares some of the Earth-killing corporations enough that they'll be more law-abiding themselves. I'd like it to be a movie someday. It's the story of three people in the American Southwest who cut down billboards, destroy Earth-pushing equipment and generally seek to preserve the desert by taking matters into their own hands.
