There are few unexplored territories left on our planet. But perhaps the wildest and least explored are the world’s oceans. Too large to police and with no clear international legal status, vast swaths of international waters have become havens for rampant criminality. Slavers and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, shipwreck thieves and buyers of confiscated goods, vigilant conservationists and elusive poachers, shackled slaves and abandoned stowaways. We are introduced to the inhabitants of this closed world by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ian Urbina, whose dangerous and fearless investigative reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, forms the basis of this book. Through stories of astonishing courage and cruelty, survival and tragedy, the author shows the global network of crime and violence that entangles the most important industries for the world economy: fishing, oil production, shipping.
