Susan Casey is our premiere chronicler of the aquatic world. For The Underworld she traversed the globe, joining scientists and explorers on dives to the deepest places on the planet, interviewing the marine geologists, marine biologists, and oceanographers who are searching for knowledge in this vast unseen realm. She takes us on a fascinating journey through the history of deep-sea exploration, from the myths and legends of the ancient world to storied shipwrecks we can now reach on the bottom.

Historia
In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze in a devastating explosion. But when David Mockett, a maritime surveyor working for Lloyd’s of London, inspected the damaged vessel, he was left with more questions than answers. How had the pirates gotten aboard so easily? And if they wanted to steal the ship and bargain for its return, then why did they destroy it? The questions didn’t add up—and Mockett would never answer them.

Historia
Even if we live within sight of the sea, it is easy to forget that our world is an ocean world. The open ocean, that vast expanse of international waters, begins just a few miles out and spreads across three-fourths of the globe. It is a place of storms and danger, both natural and manmade. And at a time when every last patch of land is claimed by one government or another, it is a place that remains radically free.

For centuries, oceans were the chessboard on which empires battled for supremacy. But in the nuclear age, air power and missile systems dominated our worries about security, and for the United States, the economy was largely driven by domestic production, with trucking and railways that crisscrossed the continent serving as the primary modes of commercial transit.

Historia
On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

Many books have been written on the tragic decisions regarding Vietnam made by the stars of the Kennedy and Johnson administrations. Yet despite many words of analysis and reflection, no historian has been able to explain why such decent and previously successful men stumbled so badly. That changes with Road to Disaster. Historian Brian VanDeMark draws upon decades of archival research, his own interviews with many of those involved, and a wealth of previously unheard recordings by Robert McNamara and Clark Clifford, who served as Defense Secretaries for Kennedy and Johnson.

On October 1, 2015, Hurricane Joaquin barreled into the Bermuda Triangle and swallowed the container ship El Faro whole, resulting in the worst American shipping disaster in 35 years. No one could fathom how a vessel equipped with satellite communications and a sophisticated navigation system could suddenly vanish - until now. Relying on hundreds of exclusive interviews with family members and maritime experts, as well as the words of the crew members themselves - whose conversations were captured by the ship’s data recorder - journalist Rachel Slade unravels the mystery.

Auckland Island is a godforsaken place in the middle of the Southern Ocean, 285 miles south of New Zealand. With year-round freezing rain and howling winds, it is one of the most forbidding places in the world. To be shipwrecked there means almost certain death. In 1864, Captain Thomas Musgrave and his crew of four aboard the schooner Grafton wreck on the southern end of the island. Utterly alone in a dense coastal forest, plagued by stinging blowflies and relentless rain, Captain Musgrave inspires his men to take action.

In the late 1990s, Patrick O’Brian’s multimillion-copy-selling historical novel series—the Aubrey-Maturin series, which was set during the Napoleonic Wars—seemed destined for film. With Russell Crowe as Jack Aubrey and Paul Bettany as Stephen Maturin, the production only needed a ship that could stand in for Lucky Jack’s HMS Surprise, with historical accuracy paramount. The filmmakers found the Rose, a replica of an 18th-century ship that would work perfectly. Only there was one problem: the Rose was in Newport, Rhode Island, not in Southern California.

Deep in the Arctic wilderness, Peter Freuchen awoke to find himself buried alive under the snow. During a sudden blizzard the night before, he had taken shelter underneath his dogsled and become trapped there while he slept. Now, as feeling drained from his body, he managed to claw a hole through the ice only to find himself in even greater danger: his beard, wet with condensation from his struggling breath, had frozen to his sled runners and lashed his head in place, exposing it to icy winds that needed only a few minutes to kill him. If Freuchen could escape that, he could escape anything.

In August 1897, the young Belgian commandant Adrien de Gerlache set sail for a three-year expedition aboard the good ship Belgica with dreams of glory. His destination was the uncharted end of the earth: the icy continent of Antarctica. But de Gerlache’s plans to be first to the magnetic South Pole would swiftly go awry. After a series of costly setbacks, the commandant faced two bad options: turn back in defeat and spare his men the devastating Antarctic winter, or recklessly chase fame by sailing deeper into the freezing waters.

The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth. In 1819 the Essex left Nantucket for the South Pacific with 20 crew members aboard. In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The crew drifted for more than 90 days in three tiny whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, and disease and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the fight for survival.

Since the dawn of recorded history, humans have felt a kinship with the sleek and beautiful dolphin, an animal whose playfulness, sociability, and intelligence seem like an aquatic mirror of mankind. In recent decades, we have learned that dolphins recognize themselves in reflections, count, grieve, adorn themselves, feel despondent, rescue one another (and humans), deduce, infer, seduce, form cliques, throw tantrums, and call themselves by name.

Resumen del Editor
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • 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 exposé, 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.
Reseñas de la Crítica
"The Outlaw Ocean brings the reader up close to an overwhelming truth... An impressive feat of reporting... Urbina deftly reveals complicated ideas through his stories." —The Washington Post
"This body of work is a devastating look at the corruption, exploitation, and trafficking that thrive on the open ocean... The writing is straightforward but clever... Eerie and beautiful." —Outside
"The Outlaw Ocean is enriched by Urbina’s gifted storytelling about the destruction of marine life and the murder, crime, and piracy that make the seas so dangerous for those who make their living on them." —The National Book Review

Somalia, on the tip of the Horn of Africa, has been inhabited as far back as 9,000 BC. Its history is as rich as the country is old. Caught up in a decades-long civil war, Somalia, along with Iraq and Afghanistan, has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Getting there is a 45-hour, five-flight voyage through Frankfurt, Dubai, Djibouti, Bosaso (on the Gulf of Aden), and, finally, Galkayo. Somalia is a place where a government has been built out of anarchy.

A decade after the Cold War, a violent explosion sent the Russian submarine Kursk to the bottom of the Barents Sea. The Russians claimed an outdated torpedo caused the incident and refused help from the West while 23 survivors died before they could be rescued. When Russian naval officers revealed evidence of a collision with a US spy sub, Vladimir Putin squelched the allegations and fired the officers. In Spies of the Deep, W. Craig Reed shatters the lies told by both Russian and US officials and exposes several shocking truths.

The men on the SS Marine Electric sailed into a storm in February 1983 not knowing that they would make history - at a great cost in lives. Just three men survived the wreck of the Marine Electric off the shores of Virginia and they found that their struggle had just begun once they got back to shore. Blamed for the wreck, they fought back and broke a code of silence that had covered up sloppy ship inspections for decades and revealed the flaws in old World War II rust buckets that were still at sea long past their functional lifetime.

Although the United States declared war against Germany in December 1941, a successful assault on Nazi-occupied Europe could not happen until Germany’s industrial and military might were crippled. The first target was the Luftwaffe—the most powerful and battle-hardened air force in the world. The United States Army Air Forces joined with Great Britain’s already-engaged Royal Air Force to launch a strategic air campaign that ultimately brought the Luftwaffe to its knees. One of the standout units of this campaign was the legendary 303rd Bomb Group—Hell’s Angels.

Soldiers faced relentless machine gun shelling, incredible artillery power, flame throwers, and gas attacks. Within the first four months of the war, the British Army recorded the nervous collapse of ten percent of its officers; the loss of such manpower to mental illness left the army unable to fill its ranks. Soldiers Don't Go Mad tells for the first time the story of the soldiers and doctors who struggled with the effects of industrial warfare on the human psyche.

Despite some flaws, an eye-opening must-listen!
This audiobook provides a startling view into a world that is likely to never reach the consciousness of most people living outside of it, but with which we are all nonetheless inexorably linked. Despite some flaws, the important (albeit disturbing) education it provides makes this a worthwhile and highly recommended read. The level of exploitation and mistreatment of people, the environment, and animals that occurs on the high seas, as revealed in this reporting, is horrific and the complacency with which it’s met is shocking. In addition to the morality wake-up call, there is a lot of fascinating detail about life on the sea and even some fun high-seas hijinks. I particularly enjoyed the chapters on the so-called ‘raiders of the lost arks’ and on the battles between the Japanese whalers and anti-whaling activists. Other highlights include learning about the many intricate challenges and legal complexities that governments, environmental activists, and all members of the fishing industry must navigate. The main issues I saw with the book were an at times tedious redundancy, singularity of perspective, and lack of nuanced analysis of the issues. I realize some repetitiveness and a lack of integration of ideas and themes from different chapters is unavoidable with a collection of essays, but in this case, I found it somewhat dulled the reader into ceasing to be outraged by crimes against humanity, particularly regarding the sea slavery issue. There were also very few alternative perspectives other than the author’s own and those of the victims of the powerful or their advocates (the arguable exception to this being the Somali chapter, where the reader got to hear some varying opinions from locals). Something about it felt incomplete, and the reporting would have benefited from fairer balance, as the issues are incredibly complex. However, if your main goal is to raise much-needed awareness and empathy for sea slavery – which seemed to be the most consistent theme – deeper analysis and perspective will only muddy that message. Nevertheless, I was left with immense gratitude that I had listened to this reporting and that the author had made the arduous effort to bring back the tales he did. The narrator does a fine job and I think he was a good choice for this book.

Life changing information
This book is very well written and documents the ocean and everything industrial related to it well. The information was phenomenal and struck a chord between the hopelessness and hysteria that I experience in many books about the perils of certain industries and just dismissing the idea that things can change. It has practical steps we can all take suggested at the end of the book. Well worth reading and internalizing.

Riveting and eye opening
Journalist and adventurer Ian has a comprehensive understanding of the current Pacific seas and modern pirating. Written as a journalist his details of governments clashing as power changes and his witness to specific exchanges open up a world most if us will never see but is so important to the world. Giving it to my Dad for fathers day, it’s that amazing

Very insightful and extremely interesting
This author is a journalist and he traveled the worlds oceans exploring just what is going on with the people who do everything from fish to drill to live on the ocean, just about every chapter is a new story with new characters and I found these stories so interesting. The author put an amazing amount of time and effort into the investigations into the subjects of this book and it shows, this is a well told book with an excellent narrator. I was very glad for the most part the book does not come across as preachy or political he gives you the facts as he sees it and leaves the rest to the reader, thank you for that it is an incredible journey great job.

The Wild West on the World’s Oceans
This was an extensive account of practices that occur on the world’s oceans. Even the author mentions that practices he thought were outlawed or banned still exist today. Piracy, thievery, slavery, extortion, blackmail and more regularly occur. Don’t think this is just an environmental expose, though it is covered in several chapters. The human element is far more prolific. Owners and operators of vessels strand men at sea for months at a time refusing to pay them their wages, give them food or water or contact with their families; men sold into slavery on fishing boats, stowaways killed and thrown overboard, Vigilantes attacking boats, manning agencies who charge recruits for work leaving them in debt before they work and holding them hostage without pay, its all here. An eye opening and sad account of what happens to them and the health of the ocean. A book devoted to parts that give insight to the whole and much of this still goes on. The author spent four years traveling and the events still haunt him. They will haunt you as well. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audiobook. Narrator Jason Culp’s reading was rote. A different narrator would’ve been better able to bring a more emotional element to the reading.

What an incredible book
It's an absolute masterpiece of information and thrill. I had no idea there was so much danger and depravation in the world. The author does an incredible job of educating, and exploring, and explaining all the ins and outs of the complex reality that is the ocean, and the relationship humanity (and other species) have with it. A must read.

Great but has misleading info
great performance, intriguing stories. really draws attention to how lawless the oceans are. there are a few "facts" that just aren't true or embellished which feels like it discredited other claims. Good read though

Do you know where your frozen shrimp comes from?
Things I learned from this fascinating book:
-That bag of frozen shrimp from Indonesia or Viet Nam you bought at the grocery store has about a 20% chance of having been harvested by slaves. Slaves who live in inhuman conditions that are life-threatening, and where murder of crew members isn't unknown.
-That once you take your boat 25 miles off shore, there are literally no rules. This lawlessness is making the oceans a dead zone and a haven for human rights violations. Also some pretty scary war games.
Urbina's approach is to go directly on these ships whenever possible, so the visceral descriptions of what it's like to sleep two inches under the behind of a colleague that hasn't washed in two weeks, but inches above the rats and fish guts, makes this book readable and compelling.

Great insights into the out of sight out of mind world of our oceans
The more we educate ourselves the more we will care about what we are doing to our oceans. My only complaint is at the end of the book he gives some recommendations for how we can all do our part, although Ian left out becoming a vegetarian, which some can argue is perhaps the BEST way an individual can have the biggest imact on stopping the over harvesting and illegal fishing industry.
