A Man. A Mission. GREENPEACE CAPTAIN PETER WILLCOX has been a Captain for Greenpeace for over 30 years. He would never call himself a hero, but he is recognized on every ocean and continent for devoting his entire life to saving the planet. He has led the most compelling and dangerous Greenpeace actions to bring international attention to the destruction of our environment. From the globally televised imprisonment of his crew, the "Arctic 30," by Russian Commandos to international conspiracies involving diamond smuggling, gun-trading and Al-Qaeda, Willcox has braved the unimaginable and triumphed. This is his story--which begins when he was a young man sailing with Pete Seeger and continues right up to his becoming the iconic environmentalist he is today. His daring adventures and courageous determination will inspire readers everywhere.

本書は単なる環境活動の記録に留まらない、信念を貫くことの重層的な意味を問う深遠な「人間ドキュメント」です。著者の筆致はヒーローという虚飾を剥ぎ取り、世界を変えるために必要な泥臭い覚悟を浮き彫りにします。ロシア特殊部隊や国際的陰謀に立ち向かう姿は文学的なカタルシスに満ち、読者に「愛するものに何を捧げられるか」という究極の問いを突きつけます。 冷徹な海と燃え盛る情熱の対比こそが本作の白眉です。ピート・シーガーとの出会いから伝説の船長へ至る軌跡は、揺るぎない意志の美しさを描き出しています。地球の未来を巡る壮大な思索へと誘う本書は、ページをめくるごとに魂を揺さぶり、静かな勇気を呼び覚ます傑作といえるでしょう。
