About the Book

Award-winning journalist David Robie was on board the Greenpeace environmental ship Rainbow Warrior on its last mission to Rongelap Atoll in May 1985 and stayed with the ship until it reached Auckland in July. Robie's account of this voyage - of the Marshall Islands community poisoned by nuclear fallout and of the fatal bombing of the Rainbow Warrior by the French secret service - remains a definitive work on Western treachery in the Pacific. But, it also shows the power of good people who were willing to stand up and be counted when others desperately needed their help.

About the Author :
David Robie was awarded New Zealand's 1985 Media Peace Prize for his reporting of the Rainbow Warrior voyage to the Marshall Islands and the sabotage. He was the only New Zealand journalist to accompany the campaigners and spent 10 weeks on board. Dr Robie is now retired professor of journalism and director of the Pacific Media Centre in Auckland University of Technology's School of Communi-cation Studies, and is the current editor of Asia Pacific Report and deputy chair of the Asia Pacific Media Network. He was presented with the 2015 AMIC Asia Communication Award in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and was awarded Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2024 for services to journalism and Asia Pacific Media. Helen Clark ONZ SSI PC (born 26 February 1950) is a New Zealand politician who served as the 37th prime minister of New Zealand from 1999 to 2008 and was the administrator of the United Nations Development Programme from 2009 to 2017. She was New Zealand's fifth-longest-serving prime minister, and the second woman to hold that office. Bunny McDiarmid was a New Zealand crew member on the last voyage of the bombed Rainbow Warrior. Since that fateful voyage, she and her partner, Henk Haazen, made several journeys to the Marshall Islands in support of the Rongelap people. She was executive director of Greenpeace New Zealand (2005-2015) and Greenpeace International executive director together with Jennifer Morgan (2016-2019). She has also been regional director of Greenpeace Pacific, an environmental campaigner for Greenpeace NZ and Greenpeace International, and has a strong commitment to social justice issues.

Review :
This thorn in the side of colonialism, nuclearism and environmental degradation is alive, well and still rocking the boat. In addition to remaining a courageous human rights and social justice champion ... David Robie has also devoted much of his life to media education work in Oceania universities such as Fiji's University of the South Pacific. - Earth Island Journal One of the most iniquitous stories of the nuclear age. - New Internationalist David Robie's analysis places the bombing squarely in the context of the South Pacific politics and people, providing a much-needed human backdrop. - Greenpeace Magazine A poignant and very well-written work - photos by the author are of great historical value. The last five months of the Rainbow Warrior's life are extremely well described. Recommended for anyone interested in the history of Greenpeace and the 'nuclear-free and independent Pacific' concept. - French naturalist Francois Catzeflis
