Beschreibungen
There are few undeveloped territories left on our planet. But perhaps the wildest and least explored are the oceans of the world. Too big to control, and with no clear international legal status, vast zones of neutral waters have become a haven for rampant crime. Slave traders and smugglers, pirates and mercenaries, thieves of sunken ships and buyers of confiscated goods, vigilant conservationists and elusive poachers, shackled slaves and illegal passengers abandoned to their fate. We are introduced to the inhabitants of this closed world by Pulitzer laureate Ian Urbina, whose dangerous and fearless investigative journalism, often hundreds of miles from the coast, formed the basis of the book. Through stories of amazing 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.
