1. The Outlaw Ocean: Journeys Across the Last Untamed Frontier
Author: by Ian Urbina
Published at: Vintage; Reprint edition (August 25, 2020)
ISBN: 978-1101972373
A riveting, adrenaline-fueled 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 rampant criminality and exploitation.
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, Ian Urbina introduces us to the inhabitants of this hidden world.
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 expos, 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.

Com Editors pick as one of the 10 best history books of 2007 Winner of the 2007 John Lyman Award for U.S. Maritime History, given by the North American Society for Oceanic History “The best history of American whaling to come along in a generation.” Nathaniel Philbrick The epic history of the “iron men in wooden boats” who built an industrial empire through the pursuit of whales.
