On 10 July 1985, French secret agents bombed the Greenpeace campaign flagship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour, New Zealand. Portuguese-born photographer Fernando Pereira died in the sabotage outrage that shook the world. The bombed ship was scuttled off a New Zealand bay in 1987 to form a living reef and Rainbow Warrior II was commissioned. In 1996, France ended nuclear tests in Polynesia after further Greenpeace and Pacific protests. This redesigned and revised new "memorial edition" of the original 1986 book contains new material and additional pictures about American and French nuclear testing in the Pacific.
