![]() ![]() ![]() Fortunately, the skill of the authors and the seriousness of the subject, as well as the gripping nature of the book’s contents and its many varied and detailed accounts, should ensure a wide and appreciative audience. Anyone who has an interest in naval policy, is concerned about logistics and shipping worldwide, or has an interest in the rise of China and India or of armed merchantmen and the potential for mercenary activity in dangerous waters, or wants to be cured of the romance of piracy in the modern world should read this most excellent book. Retired Rear Admiral Terry McKnight and Michael Hirsh have written a book about Somali piracy that is both of topical interest and designed to provide a lasting influence on future policy for the United States, that is both intensely personal as well as wide-ranging in its examination, and that manages to be a thorough account of one man’s time commanding in a volatile region of the world as well as short and easy-to-read.
