Really interesting details about whales and the Navy. I liked this most when it was focusing on the investigations, as it slowed down somewhat with the trial discussions.

War of the Whales: A True Story
by Joshua Horwitz
What a heartbreaking story! Sonic blasts, mapping, sonar explosives, and more including military games that cause death, strandings ( which cause death), and bleeding in the brain for underwater mammals. This is the journey of a scientist and a whistleblower that battles for the humane treatment of these animals. I really wanted to punch the creeps in the Navy that were so unethical but fortunately there is evidence they couldn't hide.

Started strong. Worth checking out he videos referenced in the book to undestand and appreciate the noise issue better. Book started strong. Thought it peetered out at the end. Just kinda wrapped up. But book definately brings up a topic I hadd never thought of. Sounds horrible for the animals.

My kind of book, interesting to me on several fronts. Very in depth reporting on the head on collision between the cetacians - whales, dolphins etc. - in our oceans and the sonar, particularly low range and mid-range. With heightened need for security and proliferation of nuclear submarines throughout the world, the US Navy is in constant readiness. The book details the struggle to balance navy warfare needs with marine mammal protection. It's a huge problem around the world. Horwitz introduces the reader to all the passionate, serious environmentalists and scientists involved in this struggle as well as the behind the scene Navy posturing. You'll never see a whale again the same way.… (más)
