Interview with Peter Willcox, who has sailed over 400 thousand miles with Greenpeace
Host Kathleen Stephenson interviews Peter Willcox about GREENPEACE CAPTAIN: My Adventures in Protecting the Future of Our Planet, his autobiography written with Ron Weiss. Willcox talks about French secret agents who blew up his ship and murdered his shipmate, about risking exposure to nuclear waste and dioxins, and triumphing over a myriad of other seemingly impossible challenges. He is probably best known as a senior member of the “Arctic 30”—the Greenpeace crew captured by Russian commandos and imprisoned for protesting an illegal oil drilling platform in international waters.
Peter Willcox will be at Powell's City of Books on Monday, May 9 @ 7:30 PM
