Rainbow Warrior: The Ship Bombing That Started A Global Movement

Описание: The Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's iconic ship, became the target of state-sponsored sabotage in 1985 when French secret agents bombed it in Auckland Harbor, killing a crew member, Fernando Pereira. The ship was en route to protest nuclear testing at Mururoa Atoll, symbolizing the fight for a nuclear-free Pacific. The attack, a shocking act of political terrorism, led to global outrage, exposing France's covert operations and sparking a broader movement against nuclear weapons. Despite the tragedy, the Rainbow Warrior's legacy endures, inspiring environmental activism and the fight for justice.
