Description
The long-awaited companion piece to Jensen's immensely popular and highly acclaimed works A Language Older than Words and The Culture of Make Believe, Endgame stands to become Jensen's most influential book. Building on a series of simple but increasingly provocative premises, Jensen leaves us hoping for what may be inevitable: a return to agrarian communal life via the disintegration of civilisation itself. |Derrick Jensen is a rare and original voice of sanity in a chaotic world.| - Howard Zinn
