The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey

Finally finished it. What an exciting book! Lots and lots of adventure and skullduggery that are a recipe for disaster. The four characters in this book are great fun and are intent on destroying everything that might conceivably have anything to do with Industry and destroying the purity of the great Southwest. They do a pretty good job of it, but miss their final goal. This book was the idea behind Earth First! It does give some pretty good details about how to make a bomb and what to do to disrupt further road-building and bridge-building, etc.  It's a bit of a rant against the federal government and its policies concerning the environment. Glad I read it and I recommend it to all.
