(PRWEB) August 9, 2004 -- For expert nuclear testing insight on the 59th
anniversary of the United States’ atomic bomb attack on Hiroshima and the
subsequent nuclear testing from 1969 to 1979, co-founder of Greenpeace Rex
Weyler is available for comment.
Weyler was a participant and early
founder of Greenpeace. He reported and photographed the grassroots citizen
action days of the organization that became Greenpeace. Rex Weyler is the author
of Blood of the Land, for which he received a Pulitzer Prize nomination. His

Weyler’s latest book, Greenpeace: How a Group of Ecologists, Journalists and
Visionaries Changed the World (available in September), he takes his reader on
the ultimate adventure journey—into the private circle of one of the most
intriguing and consequential organizations of the world, Greenpeace. Rex
provides the details on everything that transpired from U.S. nuclear bomb
testing to the rising concerns for ecological stability, the quest to end the
whale and seal hunts and the dynamics of diverging personalities and political
agendas.
