Synopsis
A motley crew of saboteurs wreaks havoc on the corporations destroying America&’s Western wilderness in this &“wildly funny, infinitely wise&” classic (The Houston Chronicle). When George Washington Hayduke III returns home from war in the jungles of Southeast Asia, he finds the unspoiled West he once knew has been transformed. The pristine lands and waterways are being strip mined, dammed up, and paved over by greedy government hacks and their corrupt corporate coconspirators. And the manic, beer-guzzling, rabidly antisocial ex-Green Beret isn&’t just getting mad. Hayduke plans to get even. Together with a radical feminist from the Bronx; a wealthy, billboard-torching libertarian MD; and a disgraced Mormon polygamist, Hayduke&’s ready to stick it to the Man in the most creative ways imaginable. By the time they&’re done, there won&’t be a bridge left standing, a dam unblown, or a bulldozer unmolested from Arizona to Utah. Edward Abbey&’s most popular novel, The Monkey Wrench Gang is an outrageous romp with ultra-serious undertones that is as relevant today as it was in the early days of the environmental movement. The author who Larry McMurtry (Lonesome Dove) once dubbed &“The Thoreau of the American West&” has written a true comedic classic with brains, heart, and soul that more than justifies the call from the Los Angeles Times Book Review that we should all &“praise the earth for Edward Abbey!&” &“Mixes comedy and chaos with enough chase sequences to leave you hungering for more.&”—The San Francisco Chronicle
