DEATH OF A WHALE: The Challenge of Anti-Whaling Activists and Indigenous Rights

Captain Paul Watson is no stranger to controversy. But this particular conflict was more personal than most. His latest book is a fascinating and thought-provoking account of what happened when anti-whaling activists found themselves at odds with tribal rights. Conservationists, eco-warriors, whale protectors, and supporters of Indigenous traditions—as well as anyone who simply loves a good story—will find themselves captivated by this tale.

This electrifying, real-life adventure story showcases an Indigenous community at odds with itself, governments and media that advance their own agendas, and grassroots organizers who display heroic activism. Highly detailed and documented, Captain Watson discloses his deeply personal motivations and explains why the organization’s mission is both urgent and essential.
