In the popular imagination, no issue has been more closely linked
with the environmental group Greenpeace than whaling. Opposition to
commercial whaling has inspired many of the organization's most
dramatic and high-profile "direct actions"-as well as some of its
most notable failures. This book provides an inside look at one
such instance: Greenpeace's decades-long campaign against the
Norwegian whaling industry. Combining historical narrative with
systems-theory analysis, author Juliane Riese shows how the
organization's self-presentation as a David pitted against
whale-butchering Goliaths was turned on its head. She recounts how
opponents successfully discredited the campaign while Greenpeace
struggled with internal disagreements and other organizational
challenges, providing valuable lessons for other protest movements.
