 Watson is a criminal October 18, 2001

Watson wasn't enforcing international law, there was no international LAW against the "crimes" he claims whalers committed. He has stated elsewhere that he has authority to "enforce" this law from a [non binding] UN resolution that was issued many months AFTER he started sinking ships.
This is a self aggrandizing piece of droll from a common criminal. He gives a bad name to a good cause.
I'm very glad I had someone else's copy and I didn't spend my money on it.

I worked and sailed with Captain Watson for more than three years. You may not like the what he does or how he writes, but that doesn't matter one bit to him! His only concern is for those animals and ecosystems that he is fighting so hard to protect. He is an gifted leader and speaker, one of the world's most successful activists (if you count results rather than media attention), and has been an inspiration to and mentor of many others that fight for environmental justice.Read this book, try to soak up some of his message and his passion - then do something with it.

Paul Watson is one of the few hominids on this planet who actually knows what he's doing with his life. Over the last two hundred years humanity's impact upon Gaia has become exponential. Only people with his courage, compassion and vision offer us any hope. "Whether 'tis better in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them" -Shakespeare

The previous reviewer on this page can't be serious. I can't imagine picking up this book with the idea of being entertained with Great Literature. It doesn't pretend to be; Paul Watson doesn't worry about being any kind of Author. But the book reads well enough, and anyways it is the content and moral force behind the words and behind the actions that matter to me. Paul has been my hero for twenty-one years, ever since he was kicked out of Greenpeace for trying to stop a thug from whacking a baby seal on the head. The purpose of this book is too give light to his efforts in this world; if a few facts are wrong - big f***ing deal! So get a copy editor! Three cheers for Paul Watson - and may the rest of us wake up in time to follow in his footsteps!
