Krátky popis
The Outlaw Oceanis a riveting, adrenalin-fuelled tour of a vast,
lawless and rampantly criminal world that few have ever seen: the
high seas. There are few remaining frontiers on our planet. But
perhaps the wildest, and least understood, are the world's oceans:
too big to police, and under no clear international authority,
these immense regions of treacherous water play host to the
unbridled extremes of human behaviour and activity. Traffickers and
smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, wreck thieves and repo men,
vigilante conservationists and elusive poachers, seabound
abortion-providers, clandestine oil-dumpers, shackled slaves and
cast-adrift stowaways: drawing on five years of perilous and
intrepid reporting, often hundreds of miles from shore, Urbina
introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world and their
risk-fraught lives. Through their stories of astonishing courage
and brutality, survival and tragedy, he uncovers a globe-spanning
network of crime and exploitation that emanates from the fishing,
oil and shipping industries, and on which the world's economies
rely. Both a gripping adventure story and a stunning expose, this
unique work of reportage brings fully into view for the first time
the disturbing reality of a floating world that connects us all, a
place where anyone can do anything because no one is watching.
