Pirates have pillaged seas and oceans for as long as commercial vessels carrying goods have existed. Living by the Pirate Code and trying to avoid governmental authorities, they managed to cause substantial losses to some of the world´s most renown naval fleets. Today these crimes still continue, although they have taken a different form. This book contains highly interesting material about the sea crimes known as piracy especially in the context of modern piracy and the notorious Somali pirates.
