Sea Kings: The Most Dangerous Pirates in History by Aboud Mostafa
Piracy is a crime of robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, by an agent not commissioned by any state or government. Piracy has recently become an imminent danger, and the closest documented cases of piracy are in the 14th century BC, when a group of sea raiders attacked civilizations located on the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas. The narrow channels through which ships were transported created easy opportunities for pirates. Historical examples of piracy include the waters of Gibraltar, the Strait of Malacca, Madagascar, the Gulf of Aden, and the English Channel. Land-based piracy is paralleled by ambushes by highwaymen and robbers on travelers in mountainous regions and highways.
In this book, we talk about the history of piracy, its beginnings in the world, and its spread. We also talk about the most famous pirates throughout history, what they did, and how they imposed their dominance over the seas.
