The Rainbow Warrior collection : French and New Zealand cartoon comments on the "Greenpeace Affair"

documentary heritage
  • Description

    The "Greenpeace Affair" - the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior and its aftermath - was undoubtedly one of the most significant world events of 1985.

    Cartoonists in both France and New Zealand had a field day with this extraordinary melange of nuclear protest, not very secret spies, frogmen, rubber boats, a pseudo-married couple, a swimming pool, government enquiries, nationalistic fervour, lambs' brains and a constant flow of news speculations and revelations.

    This selection of their work, ranging through mild humour and wry satire to biting political comment, records the astounding story.--back cover.
