Here is a well-documented history of a major industry that played a crucial role in the formation of this country and has been overlooked in most circles. While "Moby Dick" presented the whaling adventure, this book takes in the much broader panorama of the industry from its origins to its demise. Not only factual, but interspersed with little nuggets of social history. While "Moby Dick" was about "Man", "Leviathan" is about "Society".
