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

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.
