The Outlaw Sea: A World of Freedom, Chaos, and Crime by William LangewiescheMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Eye opening book about how things actually work on the high seas - blahblah percent of our planet's surface, after all. A morass of confusing "flags of convenience", slippery ownership and low-paid crew from Asia makes placing blame for anything that goes wrong with an ocean-going vessel very difficult. Fascinating, except for a part in the middle where I felt the author spent way too much time on a Baltic ferry wreck.
