About the Book

A BBC Radio 2 Fact Not Fiction Book Choice. In over 40 years as a senior captain for Greenpeace International, Peter Willcox has been in the vanguard of the international environmentalist movement. He has led crews into battle against whale killers, nuclear testing sites, and deep sea drillers. He has confronted naval warships, faced a bombing attack on the iconic Rainbow Warrior, and endured imprisonment for peacefully protesting Russian oil drilling in Antarctica. This is his story. Adventurous, passionate and unapologetic, Greenpeace Captain by Peter Willcox gives you all the thrill of life as an activist from the comfort of your home. This impressive and inspiring collection of tales, accompanied by captivating illustrations, acts as a shining example of human achievement in the bid to protect our planet as we know it. ‘Peter Willcox is a hero of our times. He has been at the frontline of non-violent direct action for four decades, and put his body on the line to defend our planet. Our fragile environment needs more people like him.’ -- Caroline Lucas, MP, co-leader of the Green Party

About the Author :
Peter Willcox has been a Captain with Greenpeace for over 30 years, making him the most experienced captain in the organization. An activist for nearly his entire life, beginning by marching in Selma behind Martin Luther King, Jr. with his family at age twelve, Willcox first became engaged with environmental issues when he served as the Captain of Pete Seeger’s Hudson River Sloop, Clearwater. Captain Willcox estimates he’s sailed over 300,000 miles in virtually every corner of the globe. As one of the most public faces of Greenpeace, Captain Willcox has appeared in hundreds of press conferences and interviews on outlets including the New York Times, the BBC, NPR, and CNN.

Review :
‘Peter Willcox is a hero of our times. He has been at the frontline of non-violent direct action for four decades, and put his body on the line to defend our planet. Our fragile environment needs more people like him.’ ‘It’s no accident that the world is taking action to save the whales and rainforests, tackle climate change and toxic pollution; it’s because people such as Peter Willcox are making it happen. A great read. ’ ‘There is warmth and excitement in Peter Willcox's thrilling account of his adventures as Greenpeace Captain. His book brought back memories not only of voyages shared, but also of Peter as a brave exemplar.’
