The Monkey Wrench Gang – Edward Abbey

An incendiary call to protect the American wilderness requires more than a little of the old willing suspension of disbelief. Moving from one improbable situation to the next, packing more adventure into the space of a few weeks than most real people do in a lifetime.

Author

Edward Paul Abbey (1927–1989) was an American author and essayist noted for his advocacy of environmental issues, criticism of public land policies, and anarchist political views. His love for nature and extreme distrust of the industrial world influenced much of his work and helped garner a cult following. Abbey died on March 14, 1989. He was buried as he had requested: in a sleeping bag.
