“Ed Abbey’s classic novel is a rollicking and outrageous trip of mayhem and civil disobedience. The Monkey Wrench Gang (made up of an ex-Green Beret, a feminist, a doctor and a Mormon outcast) crisscrosses the American Southwest blowing up billboards and bridges, spiking trees and otherwise getting in the way of purveyors of progress. Fast-paced and packed with humor and wisdom, this book is a testimonial to environmental activism and the legacy of Edward Abbey.”—Beth, Third Street Books, McMinnville, OR
