Rage Across the Amazon is a regional sourcebook and chronicle for Werewolf: The Apocalypse.

Summary[]

From the White Wolf 1993-94 catalog:

A Chronicle book detailing the Amazon War, the Garou's guerilla war against Pentex Inc. in the South American rainforests. Besides armies of Pentex marauders, the Garou must face the wrath of the native werejaguars - for old hatreds die hard. The Amazon is an important battlefield in the war against the Wyrm's corruption; victory or failure here will greatly decide the fate of other natural sites. Includes extensive encounters and maps for the battlefields of the jungle war.

From the Back Cover:

The Greatest Threat
The Wyrm has made its move — Pentex Incorporated is behind the destruction of the Amazon Rain Forest. Bulldozers tear down ancient trees, leaving scorched wastelands behind. Factories vomit balefire into the rivers, poisoning Gaia's bloodstream. Banes screech through the jungle, maiming the spirits and Umbral glens. The hungry may of the Wyrm opens wide to devour its feast...
The Greatest Sacrifice
...but the Wyrm chokes on the bitter rage of the Garou. The warriors of Gaia are here to end the corruption, destroy the defilers and take back the Earth. The Amazon War has begun, the greatest battle yet for the body and soul of Gaia. In their darkest hour, the Garou must succeed before the Dark Foe destroys everything.
Rage Across the Amazon is a chronicle setting for Werewolf. It includes:
