Product Description
Synopsis
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.

Raze the Roof!
1 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
People in and around mainstream environmentalism have spent the last year mentally masturbating about whether or not environmentalism is dead. Igniting a Revolution is a thoughtful, noisy, cantankerous, and courageous collection that should serve as a conceptual prophylactic that ends that debate once and for all. During a time of Green Scare when federal authorities are infiltrating activist groups everywhere, decrying "ecoterrorism" in the hollow halls of government, and carting earth and animal liberationists off to prision as quickly as possible, Best & Nocella (along with the AK collective) have edited/produced a roof raising howl of tremendous defiance and disgust. Only time will tell if the book is prophetic and ecologically mindful revolutionary forces materialize to play a role in transforming society such that a verdant peace grows out of the shorted-out circuitry of the mega-war-machine. In the meantime, however, the diverse range of essays included herein should be more than capable of setting fire to readers' imaginations as they generate ideas of how a more just, peaceful, and beautiful world might be achieved. A must read I would think for anyone with even the slightest concern for the state of the planet...

A strong message to be found here!
22 Dec 2006
Format:Paperback
In a time when apathy is no longer a luxury we can afford; this book delves into the deep social-environmental issues that involve us all. This book has an underlying message that hyper-individualism is not at all in our best interest, we should be practicing social responsibility for even the slightest hope of a sustainable planet.
Much of the environmental struggle reminds me of the idea that the means of resistance is not determined by the oppressed; rather the oppressor.
Are the "eco-terrorists" fighting fair? Well, how about their opponents; big business with seemingly endless financial resources and legal sway?
This book is a great read and a real motivator.

This book will change the face of environmentalism and induct a whole new generation into the struggle for a return to nature and earth liberation. Blessed be those who fight against the forces of earth's destruction. Long live the mother earth our war in her name never ending. A rebirth of uncompromising militant resistance is overdue for our alternative is the assured fact that our children will inherit a dead world. This book will feed the fires of rage and serve as a catalyst for others to attack those that prey on the earth making it an important piece of literary work within the earth and animal liberation movements. The authors Best and Noccela have out done themselves Prepare for war.
