Title:

Dangerous Waters:
Modern Piracy and Terror on the High Seas |
|
Author: |
John S. Burnett
|
|
Published: |
Plume Books;
Reprint edition (September 30, 2003) |
ISBN: |

|
 While
sailing alone one night in the shipping lanes across one
of the busiest waterways in the world, John Burnett was
attacked by pirates. Through sheer ingenuity and a
little bit of luck, he survived, and his shocking
firsthand experience became the inspiration for
Dangerous Waters.
Today's breed of pirates are not the colorful cutthroats
painted by the history books. Unlike the romantic images
from yesteryear of Captain Hook, Long John Silver, and
Blackbeard, modern pirates can be local seamen looking
for a quick score, highly trained guerrillas, rogue
military units, or former seafarers recruited by
sophisticated crime organizations.
Including new, up-to-date information for the paperback
edition, Dangerous Waters is both a dauntless
investigation and an epic, breathtaking modern tale of
the sea |
