Praise for Derrick
Jensen:
"'At the risk of sounding ridiculous,' Che Guevara once and
rather famously declaimed, 'let me say that the true revolutionary is
guided by feelings of great love.' To my mind, he might well have been
describing Derrick Jensen. No other writer has so clearly and consistently
captured the essense of Guevarra's intent, illuminating it in ways of which
Che himself never dreamed. That Endgame embodies Jensen's finest work to
date says all that needs saying about why it simply MUST be read." — Ward
Churchill, author of Since Predator Came and Struggle for the
Land
"Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a
chaotic world. He has wisdom and wit, grace and style, and is a
wonderful guide to a good life beautifully lived." —Howard
Zinn
"Derrick Jensen is a force for the common good. His books are
mandatory reading in the study of culture and social change. Derrick
Jensen is a contemporary philosopher with his feet firmly on the
ground." —Terry Tempest Williams, author of The Open Space of
Democracy
"[Endgame is] remarkable in its consideration of the
present system of exploitation, destruction of the natural world, and
indeed, self-destruction…. Jensen raises vital questions that must be
asked, and moreover, that must be answered. In this mad venture, we are all
complicit, if only in our silence. Jensen shatters this silence." —Mumia
