* 故事講述1988年發生在美國阿拉斯加州一群記者、環保人士和當地居民拯救三條灰鯨的真實故事。

Set in Cold-War-era 1988, Everybody Loves Whales is the real story behind the remarkable, bizarre, and often times uproarious event that mesmerized the world for weeks. It is a story that will appeal not only to animal lovers and environmentalists, but also those interested in politics and history.

On October 7, an Inuit hunter found three California Gary whales imprisoned in the Arctic ice. In the past, as was nature’s way, trapped whales always died. Not this time. In Everybody Loves Whales Rose compellingly describes how oil company executives, Greenpeace activists, Eskimos, businessmen, and military officers heroically worked together to save the whales. The book also features some of the more than 150 international journalists who brought the story to the world’s attention. The rescue caused a media firestorm and was followed my millions of people around the world and even brought together President Reagan and the General Secretary of the Soviet Union, in the midst of the Cold War, to join forces.

Tom Rose covered the 1988 whale rescue as a reporter and producer for Japanese TV. He spent the next several months in Alaska interviewing every major player involved in both the rescue and the media coverage of it. Today, Rose, the former Publisher and CEO of the Jerusalem Post, is a conservative talk show host on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio. He writes regularly on the Middle East and lives in Indianapolis, Indiana.
