Somalia, the New Barbary? Piracy and Islam in the Horn of Africa,

Authors

Charles N. Dragonette

Abstract

Within the sea services, allusion to the Barbary pirates and the “shores of Trip- oli” continues to resonate. Readers of Martin Murphy’s detailed and thought- ful book Somalia may come away wish- ing that a solution to the situation our mariners and fleet forces now face in those inhospitable waters were as straightforward as storming the beaches.
