Earle Reynolds began his career as a physical anthropologist. In 1951 his life was forever changed after he went to Hiroshima to study the effects of the atomic bomb. When he embarked with his family on a world voyage aboard their yacht, The Phoenix of Hiroshima , fate set him on a path that would lead him to his life's work--the struggle for peace.
