"Ocean Warrior - Captain Paul Watson's battle to end the illegal slaughter on the high seas. Paul Watson has rammed fishing trawlers; smashed whaling ships; sailed boldly into Soviet waters (when the Cold War still chilled international relations); and brazenly challenged the governments of all seafaring nations to live up to the letter of the laws they have agreed to and signed. Paul Watson, who scathingly referred to Greenpeace, an organization he helped found, as ""the Avon ladies of the environmental movement,"" has an unswerving mission - to publicize and stop the atrocities committed against the creatures that inhabit the world's oceans. He rammed the Sierra, a whaling vessel whose masters illegally slaughtered an estimated 25,000 whales; he sailed up to a secret whale processing plant in the former Soviet Union; he smashed the drift-net tackle on the side of Japanese fishing trawlers; and before the Canadian government even thought of taking action, he drove the Cuban fishing fleet off the Grand Banks to protect the depleted fish stocks. He has also faced off against the Norwegian navy while challenging the pirate whalers of that nation. Ocean Warrior is Paul Watson's own story - an amazing chronicle of courageous acts in support of deeply held convictions. paperback, 264 pages."
