A courageous voyage against nuclear testing
Fair to good Condition – cover and edge wear with visible page spotting.
The Forbidden Voyage is Earle Reynolds’s first-hand account of the 1958 protest voyage of the yacht Phoenix of Hiroshima into the United States nuclear test zone in the Pacific. Reynolds, an anthropologist whose work in Hiroshima had confronted him with the human consequences of atomic warfare, sailed with his family and crew toward an area declared off-limits during Operation Hardtack. Their decision led to interception by the Coast Guard, Reynolds’s arrest, and a legal challenge to the government’s authority at sea. Told with the immediacy of a personal voyage, the book records an extraordinary act of nonviolent resistance and an important early chapter in modern anti-nuclear activism.
