A BookRiot Pick of Readers' Choices for Best Activism Fiction
Ex-Green Beret George Hayduke has returned from war to find his beloved southwestern desert threatened by industrial development. Joining with Bronx exile and feminist saboteur Bonnie Abzug,
wilderness guide and outcast Mormon Seldom Seen Smith, and libertarian billboard torcher Doc Sarvis, M.D., Hayduke is ready to fight the power—taking on the strip miners, clear-cutters, and the
highway, dam, and bridge builders who are threatening the natural habitat. The Monkey Wrench Gang is on the move—and peaceful coexistence be damned!

“Narrator Michael Kramer’s…ease with fast-paced storytelling adds excitement to the chase scenes amid forbidding Utah terrain. The Monkey Wrench Gang is a classic in fringe political writing. Kramer does justice to this story of old-school radical environmentalism as he brings it to the ears of a new generation of activists.” —AudioFile
“Ribald, outrageous, and, in fact, scandalous.” —Smithsonian
“Mixes comedy and chaos with enough chase sequences to leave you hungering for more.” —San Francisco Chronicle

Edward Abbey (1927–1989) was born in Pennsylvania but spent most of his life in the American Southwest. He was one of the country’s foremost defenders of the natural environment, and his
most famous work Desert Solitaire, decried the waste of America’s wilderness. He was educated at the University of New Mexico and the University of Edinburgh. His many books include The
Monkey Wrench Gang, Brave Cowboy, The Fool’s Progress, and Down the River.
