全球海盗史：从维京人到索马里海盗
(uk) Peter Leal
"Global History of Piracy: From Vikings to Somali Pirates" is a new masterpiece by Peter Lehr, an expert on terrorism research. This book puts aside the romanticized imagination of pirates. From the Vikings in the Middle Ages to the modern Somali pirates, it comprehensively tells the history of pirates for more than 1,000 years, and deeply explores the motives and development process of pirates. In history, pirates are not only private gangs that roam the world, but also tools and chess pieces for mutual games and confrontations between maritime empires in various eras. Behind the repeated bans on pirates is the huge influence of regional geopolitics.
