Description
“A History of Piracy: From the Vikings to the Present Day” is an extensive study written by piracy expert Peter Lehr, author of the book “Violence at Sea: Piracy in the Era of Global Terrorism.” In his new book, Lehr avoids romanticizing pirate life, focusing instead on the root causes of piracy and the methods used to counter it in the modern world. In three parts, the author describes in detail the rise, development, and decline of global piracy, including the history of crusader pirates, exotic warriors, and privateers, and also covers pirate ports, attacks on cities, robotized ships, and hostage behavior rules. He also describes the life of sea raiders and the harsh trials awaiting those who choose this path.
