Dean Kuipers takes us behind the scenes of the Animal Liberation Front and its punk-anarchist sibling the Earth Liberation Front, two of the most notorious and violent environmental groups and one of the FBI's biggest domestic terrorist priorities--even in the wake of 9/11. Kuipers tells us the story of ALF and ELF through Rod Coronado, an eco-terrorist and animal rights activist who has served jail time on several convictions in connection with his radical activities. From his teenage association with the Sea Shepherd and Earth First! through the federal manhunt that transformed him into a folk hero, Coronado's story parallels a movement that has led to over 1,200 acts of sabotage, $1 billion in damages, and a legal showdown that will define America's relationship to environmentalism. Neither a biography nor a polemic about animal rights, Operation Bite Back tells the outlaw tale of a man who acted on well-defined principles to carry out a campaign of political sabotage, putting his life on the line for an environmental movement that ultimately couldn't afford to be identified with his extreme actions.

I also find the details of this life interesting, how the people in this movement learn what and how to do in support of the goals of animal rights. As with other movements there are both conservative and liberal leaning people and the attendant disagreements about how to achieve what they want. I can clearly see how Coronado arrived at his personal beliefs and conclusions that drive his choices. I don't know that I initially would unconditionally have supported Coronado and his actions, but both the philosophical and legal analysis is compelling.
One of my all-time favorite reads - 5 stars ( )
