Following the lives of the three ships with the name "Rainbow
Warrior," this book, written by a long-serving Greenpeace activist,
tells the inside stories of life on board and recounts some of the
ship's most exciting adventures and actions.
It is at once a narrative of real life on board, a history of
some of the most famous vessels in the world, and also a history of
Greenpeace itself, which goes beyond the oceans and touches on many
aspects of the organization's work. In the end though it aims to
bring out the personal stories and firsthand accounts of the ships'
adventures--tales from the high seas, full of action and daring but
also of humanity and great compassion.
Starting with the early life of Greenpeace and the bombing of
the "Rainbow Warrior I" by the French secret service through to the
imprisonment of the Arctic 30 by the Russians, the stories are
brought to life with photos from the Greenpeace archives, maps, and
nautical charts. The most symbolic items belonging to the ship's
historical inventory are be also included.
Maite Mompo has been a Greenpeace activist for over ten years.
With the sea in her blood she started on a small boat, the "Zorba,"
and then moved on to crew for the "Arctic Sunrise," "Esperanza,"
and "Rainbow Warrior." Spending half her year at sea, she has
sailed from pole to pole, taken part in numerous actions, and has
put herself "between the harpoon and the whale."
