The Sea Knows No Boundaries is a fascinating discussion of the vagaries of international cooperation against the backdrop of the 20th century's two world wars and their resulting diplomatic problems.... It is a must read for marine policy scholars, for historians of oceanography and the life sciences, and for environmental historians.--Keith Benson, co--editor of Oceanographic History: The Pacific and Beyond
