Pirates of the 21st Century - How Modern-Day Buccaneers are Terrorising the World's Oceans

More about the book

The book delves into the resurgence of piracy, particularly in Somalia, where initial patrols against illegal fishing have transformed into a profitable venture for local pirates, providing hope for impoverished communities. While some view these pirates as modern Robin Hoods, their increasingly violent tactics and access to advanced weaponry paint a darker picture. The author explores global piracy trends, including incidents in the South China Sea and the Caribbean, while questioning the effectiveness of international efforts to restore maritime security.
