Synopsis This justly popular underground classic is an ecologist's delight: a band of renegade activists set out to sabotage the developers who are taking over their beloved desert landscape. Abbey's famously crabby, indignant, and powerfully persuasive voice accounts for a large part of this book's wacky appeal.

Industry Reviews "THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG is a laconic comedy played out in a vast open space Abbey loves and knows well." Mehegan
"One of the very best writers to deal with the American west." Mehegan
"It's a wildly funny, infinitely wise, near to tragic tale of man against the big god machine--man against concrete, steel, man-made lakes and parking-lot wastelands. Flawlessly constructed, imaginatively detailed, faultlessly crafted with every effect looped to its matching cause, it's a scriptwriter's dream. What a thing of beauty is Edward Abbey's THE MONKEY WRENCH GANG." Mehegan
