In this global history of the phenomenon, maritime terrorism and piracy expert Peter Lehr casts fresh light on pirates. Ranging from the Vikings and Wako pirates in the Middle Ages to modern day Somali pirates, Lehr delves deep into what motivates pirates and how they operate. He also illuminates the state's role in the development of piracy throughout history: from privateers sanctioned by Queen Elizabeth to pirates operating off the coast of Africa taking the law into their own hands. After exploring the structural failures which create fertile ground for pirate activities, Lehr evaluates the success of counter-piracy efforts-and the reasons behind its failures. 606 $aPiracy$xHistory 606 $aPirates$xHistory 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aPiracy$xHistory. 615 0$aPirates$xHistory. 676 $a910.4/5 700 $aLehr$b Peter$01061109 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793676903321 996 $aPirates$93854716 997 $aUNINA
