About this book

Spanning from the Caribbean to East Asia and covering almost 3,000 years of history, from Classical Antiquity to the eve of the twenty-first century, Persistent Piracy is an important contribution to the history of the state formation as well as the history of violence at sea.

Reviews

'This collection of eight essays, preceded by an insightful, theoretical introduction, is a winner. Almost every part of the globe is treated, as is almost every historical period The authors are first-rate, their arguments are new, and the writing is precise This is an important contribution to the history of the state and will be of interest to a far wider audience than just maritime historians.' Rafe Blaufarb, Florida State University, USA
