‘It came out of real frustration’: the 90s activist network that set fires to save a burning planet
Matthew Wolfe's "Fires in the Night" explores the Earth Liberation Front, a 1990s eco-anarchist movement known for its radical environmental tactics, including arson, as a response to ecological crises. The book raises questions about the resurgence of such extreme activism in contemporary environmental advocacy amid growing frustrations with climate inaction.
