The Wise-Use Movement, the New Right, and the Browning of America
Paperback
Publication Date: 15/05/2004
A reign of violence and intimidation, including arson, bombings, rape, assault and even murder has been unleashed against environmental activists and government employees by proponents of the so-called Wise Use movement. The War Against the Greens rips the veneer of legitimacy off this right-wing backlash that stretches from armed Militias to the halls of Congress, exposing the public lands corporations, political operatives and fringe groups who have set out to destroy America's environmental protections by any means necessary. In this updated edition, Helvarg revealed how the petroleum-heavy George W. Bush administration helped expand the backlash, bringing the same individuals and industries into alliance with big oil and the Republican Party, ending an era of bipartisan progress. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the history behind the science denial, corruption, and public lands debacles that mark the Trump era.
