The best things said about it
I mean I decided to call it the outlaw ocean for a reason which is to say it's sort of more extra legal than illegal.
Why people recommend it
The Outlaw Ocean by Ian Urbina is an investigative journalism book that documents lawlessness, criminality, and human rights abuses across the world's poorly regulated international waters. Pamela Paul enthusiastically recommended the book on The Book Review during multiple episodes, praising the former New York Times reporter's deep dive into what she termed the last untamed frontier. Paul featured the work during her reading segments and also introduced Urbina himself as a guest on the podcast to discuss his reporting. During his appearance on The Jordan Harbinger Show, Urbina spoke with host Jordan Harbinger about the conceptual framework of his investigation, explaining that he deliberately chose the title because maritime regions operate in a space that is extra-legal rather than simply illegal. Harbinger engaged with these harrowing realities by bringing up specific, dangerous anecdotes from the text, such as a moment where the author had to leap into a moving skiff. Together, the host and author used the platform to illuminate the hidden atrocities occurring at sea, bringing widespread attention to modern-day slavery and maritime lawlessness through the lens of Urbina's extensive field reporting.
