Synopsis
Part exposé, part entertainment business history, DEVILS ON THE DEEP BLUE SEA is a fascinating chronicle of the rise of the "new" leisure industry: cruise ships, which now rival Las Vegas as the vacation of choice for many Americans. Journalist Kristoffer Garin recounts the factors, including entrepreneurial vision and massive consolidation, that helped the industry virtually reinvent itself over several decades. Garin exposes a darker side of the business as he recounts how, by registering offshore, the cruise lines are able to avoid accountability of any kind, including taxes and laws on labor, safety, and the environment. Yet he never neglects to convey the special experience to be had aboard these titanic floating hotels. n
