The radical environmental movement in the US that emerged in the late 1970s US initially embraced violent tactics. But by the 2000s, the movement had largely abandoned that approach despite increasing climate change. No Option But Sabotage traces the entire history of the radical environmental movement from its emergence in the late 1970s to the present, focusing on the biggest question: why did a movement that included tree spikers and the Unabomber eventually abandon violence as a strategy, unlike almost all other extremist movements?
