Subject: Covers the Hunting of Whales in theearly 20th Century
Since the title of the book is Hunting Whales with Gun and Camera, the reader SHOULD expect that this volume would cover some of the more gruesome aspects of whale hunting in the early 20th Century. It is a good report on the 'state-of-the-art' of the whaling industry at the time it was written.

Subject: Excellent Book but Not Polically Correct
Subject: Excellent Book but Not Polically Correct
This is an excellent book on shore and steam whaling in the early 20th Century, with looks of valuable information that can never be duplicated. However, it definitely is not politically correct, as it goes into detail as to how whales are hunt, killed, and processed. A lot of information on the early Japanese whaling industry in the Sea of Japan as well.
