Recenzii

'One of the world's leading experts on maritime security, Mr Murphy's book is an invaluable and authoritative account of how Somali piracy has become such an entrenched and growing security threat to the international maritime vessels transiting those dangerous seas' - Washington Post 'Murphy's book brings new insights to bear on the enduring problem of piracy off the coast of Somalia. ...will also be of interest to a wider audience of practitioners and seafarers'. - Dr Dave Sloggett, Department of War Studies, King's College London 'Somalia: The New Barbary?-Piracy and Islam in the Horn of Africa is the first book to comprehensively study Somali piracy within the unique cultural, historical, political, and economic context from which the phenomenon arose in challenge to the prevailing global order of the twenty-first century. A veteran naval analyst and recognised expert on piracy, Martin Murphy brings both nuance and insight to bear on this important security concern, but does so in a manner accessible to the general reader - Highly recommended'. - - J. Peter Pham, Senior Vice President, National Committee on American Foreign Policy, and Editor-in-Chief, The Journal of the Middle East and Africa 'Murphy outlines a clear history of not only the Somalia piracy problem but the wider issues of terrorist and insurgent infiltration. He provides in-depth insight that makes his book a must read for anyone interested in this complex topic'. - - Rudy Atallah, Africa Counter-Terrorism Director in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 2006-9 and CEO White Mountain Research 'When the Founding Fathers authorized the original Six Frigates to fight the Barbary Pirates they never dreamed that we would still be fighting the same villains of the seas in the twenty-first century. Murphy does a masterful job capturing the history of piracy, explains the current threat and makes some brilliant recommendations on how to prevent the pirates from getting the upper hand in the years ahead. This book should be at the top of the reading list for every well educated naval officer and anyone interested in this important topic'. - - RADM Terry McKnight, USN (Ret), Commander, Combined Task Force 151, Counter-Piracy Task Force, Gulf of Aden 'An altogether useful work for policy-oriented readers, those interested in East Africa, and readers of maritime affairs. Recommended.' - Choice
