Dear Friends of Phoenix of Hiroshima, Golden Rule, Hiroshima, wooden boats, history, peace, and/or a nuclear-free world,

 

My father’s book The Forbidden Voyage, (David McKay Co., Inc., 1961), the account of our family’s protest voyage by our yacht Phoenix of Hiroshima into the American nuclear test zone in the Pacific in 1958, inspired by the attempted protest by the Golden Rule, is out of print. (Knock-offs are offered by amazon.com ranging from $5.49 to $110.)

But thanks to my long-suffering, computer-savvy husband Jerry, THE ENTIRE BOOK IS NOW AVAILABLE online, free, at http://forbiddenvoyage.blogspot.com/ (To enlarge the text, left-click on it.)
