Description
"In this fascinating, in-depth book, Nigel Vawthorne examines how a phenomenon thought to be consigned to history is once again a worldwide problem: piracy is rife in the South China Sea, it has returned to the Carivvean and South America and, in 2001, the new Zealand environmentalist and yachtsman Sir Peter Blake was killed by Brazilian pirates. The author also looks at attacks that have taken place in the Malacca Straits and the fate of the couple making a once-in-a-lifetime trip around the world by yacht. Plus, he questions how the international community and its peace-keeping forces can try to bring stability and security back to the oceans of the world."--Back cover.
