Summary
• there is no overlap between the information and stories in this book and the Rodale book coming in October; they complement each other • this story as all the elements of The Perfect Storm • the photos in the book were taken during the original voyage, and were provided by the Greenpeace International archive in Washington DC • the events related in this book, that happened in 1971, attracted international attention, including then President Nixon, and actor John Wayne • books about Greenpeace are out there, but this book tells how Greenpeace came into existence • no other book documents the birth of environmental activism • Hunter was the official chronicler of these events, Greenpeace's first voyage • Hunter is a compelling interview: he is knowledgeable, is a natural storyteller, and as he works in media, knows how it works
