Produktbeschreibung
The colourful and exciting story of the larger-than-life characters who have populated Australia´s docks, wharves and ports from the First Fleet to today - and the crime, violence and corruption that has always been present.Ever since the First Fleet dropped anchor, Australia´s ports have been our opening to the world. They are also the breeding ground for many of Australia´s most notorious criminals, and a magnet for local and overseas criminal syndicates. WATERFRONT is the story of the crimes, the politics, the characters and the corruption in our nation´s ports.From the time of Phillip and Bligh to today, from the gold rushes to modern-day drug smuggling, a criminal element has always found ways to profit from the rise and dominance of waterfront unions. After a century of Royal Commissions, reports, denials and crackdowns, crime and wrongdoing in Australia´s ports remains organised, entrenched and incredibly profitable. Investigative journalist and former police detective Duncan McNab lifts the lid on the intriguing and chequered history of Australia´s waterfront.
