The Monkey Wrench Gang

Author(s): Edward Abbey

Location(s): Arizona

Genre(s): Fiction

Era(s): Contemporary

Audacious, controversial and hilarious, The Monkey Wrench Gang is Edward Abbey’s masterpiece – a big, boisterous and unforgettable novel about freedom and commitment that ignited the flames of environmental activism.

Throughout the vast American West, nature is being vicitimized by a Big Government / Big Business conspiracy of bridges, dams and concrete. But a motley gang of individuals has decided that enough is enough.

A burnt-out veteran, a mad doctor and a polygamist join forces in a noble cause: to dismantle the machinery of progress through peaceful means, or otherwise.
