Edward Abbey's Monkey Wrench Gang is a cult classic of environmental activism, following a group of ecological warriors who take radical action to protect the American Southwest from industrial destruction. Abbey creates a rollicking, subversive narrative that blends dark comedy, adventure, and passionate environmental critique. The novel follows four unlikely allies who commit increasingly bold acts of industrial sabotage, challenging readers to consider the ethics of environmental protection.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because sometimes loving something means fighting for it, even when that fight looks like destruction. Abbey understood that environmental protection isn't about being polite, it's about being fierce. This novel is a love letter to wilderness disguised as an adventure story.
