- The Secret Whales
- The Secret Whales is a detective story spanning almost 60 years and half the globe documenting the massive illegal and secret slaughter of 200,000 whales by the Soviet Union in the 1960s. Described by scientists as “one of the greatest environmental crimes of the 20th century”, involving the KGB, secret codes, and deception at the highest levels of government, the magnitude of this whaling was only realized through the diligent efforts and bravery of a small international group of intrepid scientists. They learn that the Russians weren’t the only ones illegally hunting whales, and the work to protect the whales and our oceans continues.
