Greenpeace Captain
My Adventures in Protecting the Future of Our Planet
About this book
Greenpeace's most experienced captain recounts his thrilling adventures on the seas in this action-packed memoir.
"Willcox raises important environmental awareness and celebrates Greenpeace exploits, which should inspire like-minded activists." ? Kirkus Reviews
Peter Wilcox has been a Captain for Greenpeace for over thirty years. He would never call himself a hero, but he is recognized on every ocean and continent for devoting his entire life to saving the planet. He has led the most compelling and dangerous Greenpeace actions to bring international attention to the destruction of our environment. From the globally televised imprisonment of his crew, the "Arctic 30," by Russian Commandos to international conspiracies involving diamond smuggling, gun-trading and Al-Qaeda, Willcox has braved the unimaginable and triumphed.
This is his story—which begins when he was a young man sailing with Pete Seeger and continues right up to his becoming the iconic environmentalist he is today. His daring adventures and courageous determination will inspire readers everywhere.
