Joshua Horwitz talked about his book, War of the Whales: A True Story, about the U.S. Navy’s submarine detection system that worked by flooding areas of the ocean with high-intensity sound. The sound created by the system also has the unintended consequence of driving whales onto beaches. Once the problem became an epidemic, scientists and activists launched a legal battle against the Navy. Mr. Horwitz discussed his book at Politics and Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC. close
