"The History of Piracy: From the Vikings to the Present Day" is a global work by specialist and recognized expert on piracy Peter Lehr, author of the book "Violence at Sea: Piracy in the Age of Global Terrorism" ). Lehr's new monograph is devoid of any romanticization of pirate life, which is rather characteristic of Hollywood - the scientist is interested in the root causes of the emergence of this "profession" and ways to combat it today. In three parts of the book, Peter Lehr gives a detailed picture of the emergence, development and the extinction (albeit not yet complete) of world piracy - talks about pirate crusaders, exotic wokou and orang-laut, about buccaneers and privateers, about pirate ports, raids on cities, about robotic ships and the correct behavior of hostages, as well as about a beautiful life sea robbers and about the difficult trials that everyone who decides to take this path faces.
