Description
In this explosive and darkly humorous novel, a group of unlikely eco-saboteurs wages a guerrilla war against the industrial destruction of the American West. Led by the anarchic Vietnam veteran George Washington Hayduke III, this band of rebels—including a feminist activist, a wilderness guide, and a disillusioned doctor—embark on a chaotic crusade to protect the region's pristine canyons and rivers. Through a series of increasingly audacious acts of sabotage, they challenge dam builders, road constructors, and strip miners, all while grappling with their own wild ideals and the untamed beauty of the desert landscape. Edward Abbey's signature blend of sharp wit and passionate environmentalism makes this a thrilling and unforgettable call to arms for the preservation of the wilderness.
