The Monkey Wrench Gang is a
novel written by
American author Edward Abbey (1927–1989), published in 1975.Easily Abbey's most famous fiction work, the novel concerns the use of
sabotage to protest
environmentally damaging activities in the
American Southwest, and was so influential that the term "
monkeywrench" has come to mean, besides sabotage and damage to machines, any violence, sabotage, activism, law-making, or law-breaking to preserve wilderness, wild spaces and ecosystems. It is the bible of what some critics call "eco terrorists".
