BOOK REVIEW: Hunting the Hunters

Laurens de Groot's biographical book, Hunting the Hunters, is published in the UK today, and is well worth a read.

Hunting the Hunters is the story of a campaigner and activist working for Sea Shepherd , the marine wildlife conservation organisation which aims to put whale hunting to a stop.

I was fortunate enough to receive a preview copy of the book, and despite not having a keen interest in whale-hunting beyond my general conservation interest, I couldn't put it down. De Groot's dramatic yet truthful, humorous yet heartbreaking account of life onboard some of Sea Shepherd's vessels is well worth a read, as much for what it says about human nature for the insight it gives into whale hunting, and his passion is inspirational. Can't recommend it highly enough.
