    About this ebook

    Lauded by some, despised by others, Mike Roselle is one of the most controversial figures in the crusade to protect the environment. Mike has succeeded in stopping a lumber project by spiking trees, struggled with death threats and the car bombing of fellow activist Judi Bari, endured countless days in jail, infiltrated the Nevada Test Site to delay nuclear bomb detonation, helped put a gas mask on Mount Rushmore's George Washington, and aided actor Woody Harelson in draping a banner up on the Golden Gate Bridge. He has spent over thirty years fighting back against big business, negligent management and the lawless actions of the government itself for the safety and preservation of our great earth.
    Tree Spiker: From Earth First! to Lowbagging: My Struggles in Radical Environmental Action is a fascinating autobiography from the front lines of a radical movement.

      As wildly uneven as it is entertaining, sobering and scary- this inside look at the radical environmentalists really made me want to chain myself to something. Preferably in the rain.

      Recommended, especially if you are (like I was) apt to characterize the Earth First! folk as reactionary terrorist jerks. This is another side of their story, and it deserves a fair hearing.
