Overview

As the destruction of nature reaches new extremes, resistance becomes ever more militant. Radical environmental groups are front-page news. From laboratory bombings to the destruction of ski resorts, this emerging new militancy has been steadily upping the political ante. Authorities have responded in kind, handling down unprecedented heavy prison sentences for acts of property destruction. US Congressional committees have been convened, the FBI has put revolutionary environmentalists at the top of their domestic terrorism list, and the ""terrorists"" themselves promise bigger and more spectacular assaults in the future. This anthology features a range of voices - from academics to armed revolutionaries - that explore this new form of political struggle. This is the first book of its kind on this increasingly important topic. From the editors of ""Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?: Reflections on the Liberation of Animals"", this book includes work by Marilyn Buck, Robert Jensen, Ashanti Alston, Jeffrey ""Free"" Luers, Derrick Jensen, Ann Hansen, John Zerzan, Marti Kheel, and Bron Taylor.
