Résumé

With a Preface by Robert Redford and an Introduction by Eric Schlosser. The construction of the colossal Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River spurs an oddball quartet of eco-activists to join forces in a noble cause. A Vietnam veteran who loves booze, guns and the great outdoors ; a billboard-burning doctor ; a feminist revolutionary ; and a polygamist riverboat guide - the Monkey Wrench Gang go up against the vultures of big business to sabotage the strip mines, power plants and concrete dams that are destroying vast tracts of the wilderness, through peaceful means - or otherwise...
Scandalizing the establishment and read by others as a call-to-arms when it appeared in 1975, The Monkey Wrench Gang is a wildly funny and provocatively satirical book that ignited the flames of environmental activism.
