“Pirates: contemporary scourge, evocative lore, historical fact. Daniel Sekulich accomplishes what few have: he writes from the frontlines of piracy, traveling to pirate-areas worldwide to bring the stories of crime and crime fighters on the seas to life. In these pages, you feel the fears of an attack, delve into the motivations of the pirates, see the impact on world trade and travel. Well written, carefully researched, exciting, and courageous, this book could not be timelier. One of the best books on pirates I’ve read.”
---Carolyn Nordstrom, author of Global Outlaws and Shadows of War
“Piracy on the high seas is a centuries-old practice. Piracy with satellite positioning systems, cell phones, and rocket-propelled launchers is a twenty-first-century phenomenon. Daniel Sekulich’s book combines original reporting, a deep knowledge of the shipping industry, and engaging writing. Terror on the Seas will become an indispensable reference for anyone interested in modern-day pirates.”
---Moisés Naím, editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine and author of Illicit: How Smugglers, Traffickers, and Copycats Are Hijacking the Global Economy
