Greenpeace

Greenpeace - the uniting of the 'green' and the 'peace' movements - is a pressure group that has changed the world and changed our perceptions of protest.. From small beginnings, through anti-whaling voyages, action on seal hunting, pesticide spraying, supertankers, nuclear weapons and much more, Greenpeace has become a cultural icon, an organization with 2.8 million members worldwide and offices in 30 countries. Rex Weyler, a key player throughout thest turbulent times, reveals the inside story of the movement, what really went on behind the epic events. His book is a remarkable achievement: a gripping account that reads like a thriller, a revealing snapshot of the mid- 20th century zeitgeist; a fascinating study of media manipulation, an uncompromising look at the politics of activist organizations; and, above all, an inspiring call to arms.
