<DIV>In this terrifically entertaining history, Kristoffer A. Garin chronicles the cruise-ship industry, from its rise in the early sixties, to its explosion in the seventies with the hit show <B>The Love Boat</B>, to the current vicious consolidation wars and brazen tax dodges. Entrepreneurial genius and bare-knuckle capitalism mate with cultural kitsch as the cruise lines dodge U.S. tax, labor, and environmental laws to make unimaginable profits while bringing the world a new form of leisure. <p>A colorful and compelling behind-the-scenes narrative, <B>Devils on the Deep Blue Sea</B> is a definitive look at the industry and its robber barons who created floating empires.</p> </div>
