The Ocean Beyond the Law. Slave Trade, Piracy, and Smuggling in Neutral Waters
Slave traders and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, salvagers of sunken ships and buyers of confiscated goods, vigilant protectors of nature and elusive poachers, shackled slaves and abandoned illegal passengers. We are introduced to the inhabitants of this closed world by Pulitzer Prize winner Ian Urbina, whose dangerous and fearless journalistic investigations, often hundreds of miles from shore, form the basis of the book. Through stories of extraordinary courage and brutality, survival and tragedy, the author reveals the global network of crime and violence entwining the key sectors of the world economy: fishing, oil extraction, and shipping.
