"For predators of innocence and helplessness, money should not play a role in avoiding disgrace" - Choppiness on High Seas
With ongoing release of Epstein Files, the US-Israel war on Iran, worldwide oil shock, it is almost surreal when you read this book as it has covers all this and more.
Can wealth protect a family from ill health? How can it be in the public interest to invade an individual’s privacy? Is morality just a figure of speech in today's high society? Why do wealthy people spend vast amounts on indulgences but remain parsimonious regarding servants and cleaners? Why did corruption become the new paradigm after decolonization of Africa and Asia? How did US policy change after WW2? These questions and much more are asked by the author and answered in his book, "Choppiness on High Seas."
The story begins with single mother Gail Stephens who gives birth to Mathew. She is a maid who cleans the houses of wealthy London families but realizes the important of education which she ensures Mathew acquires. Mathew Stephens grows up educated and works where he meets the love of his life Gwen. They marry and have Sally Stephens as Mathew starts building a shipping company right after the second world war. Mathew Stephens becomes a shipping magnate who stays away from the media glare. His success is phenomenal as is his personal tragedy.
The author's observations are almost prophetic as the book was written in 2025 and it is happening again right now. The comparison to what happened during the Suez Canal crisis and the Strait of Hormuz now, is so alike. Canal closures, submersible explosives, wheeling dealing all over the world. The Epstein files atrocities are very similar to the rape of Asian kids by British Elite. Why does Britain scoff at Europe but bows before the States? The economy was about real things and merchandise. And the world was still run by humans, not robots.
The writing is crisp and there is no dull moment in the narration. It is moving and inspiring while it gives people who don't understand geopolitics and politics a ringside view.
This is a must read for all.
