| Summary |
Japan is using its global power to bribe small nations to support the reintroduction of commerical whaling. Following the end of the worldwide moratorium on whaling, 1987 saw 100 whales killed but in 2005 the catch was about 2,500. This book reveals the political machinations and manipulations at the highest levels to reinstate whaling, particularly in Japan, and traces the history of modern commercial whaling, the industry's determination to ignore reasonable checks and balances, and the effectiveness of the International Whaling Commission |
