Krátky popis
A global account of pirates and their modus operandi, from the
Middle Ages to the present day In the twenty-first century piracy
has regained a central place in Western culture, thanks to a
surprising combination of Johnny Depp and the Pirates of the
Caribbean franchise as well as the dramatic rise of modern-day
piracy around Somalia and the Horn of Africa. In this global
history of the phenomenon, maritime terrorism and piracy expert
Peter Lehr casts fresh light on pirates. Ranging from the Vikings
and Wako pirates in the Middle Ages to modern-day Somali pirates,
Lehr delves deep into what motivates pirates and how they
operate.He also illuminates the state's role in the development of
piracy throughout history: from privateers sanctioned by Queen
Elizabeth to pirates operating off the coast of Africa taking the
law into their own hands. After exploring the structural failures
which create fertile ground for pirate activities, Lehr evaluates
the success of counterpiracy efforts-and the reasons behind their
failures.
