Download or read book Captured at Sea written by Jatin Dua and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2019-12-10 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is it possible for six men to take a Liberian-flagged oil tanker hostage and negotiate a huge pay out for the return of its crew and 2.2 million barrels of crude oil? In his gripping new book, Jatin Dua answers this question by exploring the unprecedented upsurge in maritime piracy off the coast of Somalia in the twenty-first century. Taking the reader inside pirate communities in Somalia, onboard multinational container ships, and within insurance offices in London, Dua connects modern day pirates to longer histories of trade and disputes over protection. In our increasingly technological world, maritime piracy represents not only an interruption, but an attempt to insert oneself within the world of oceanic trade. Captured at Sea moves beyond the binaries of legal and illegal to illustrate how the seas continue to be key sites of global regulation, connectivity, and commerce today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June 1944, U.S. Navy Task Group 22.3, a "hunter-killer" force commanded by Daniel Gallery to track down German submarines, boarded and captured U-505 off the coast of Africa. It was the first time that an enemy ship of war had been captured on the high seas by U.S. Navy sailors since 1815, when the USS Peacock seized HMS Nautilus as part of the War of 1812. The extraordinary feat is described in gripping narrative by Gallery himself, who chronicles the long and arduous battle against the German U-boat under the most hazardous conditions. Once they succeeded in capturing and towing their prize seventeen-hundred miles across the Atlantic Ocean, U-505 proved to be of inestimable value, yielding secrets to radio codes among other things. U-505 is now on exhibit at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.

This book was released on 2017-10-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Immunity of Private Property From Capture at Sea A proposal of immunity from capture at sea for all private property not subject to the law Of contraband or blockade was seriously debated by a Commission of the Second Hague Con ference. The proposal originated with the Government Of the United States which has, from its foundation, advocated com plete inviolability for commerce in time of war. Contemporary publicists have given considerable attention to the question, and various bodies, both public and private, have within recent years passed resolutions in favor Of immunity. The war now in prog ress furnishes an unparalleled criterion of the value of existing legal limitations upon the right Of capture and an index of the prospect for complete immunity. This conjunction Of circumstances favorable to an investiga tion Of the status of private property in maritime warfare occurs at a time when no historical presentation of the subject in Eng lish exists. The treatise of Professor Charles de Boeck, De la propriété privée ennemie sous pavillon ennemi, published at Paris in 1882, is an exhaustive exposition Of the material avail able up to that date. The rarity Of this scholarly work as well as the valuable store Of fact and opinion which it contains have appeared to justify a considerable number Of references to it. The majority of writers, however, tend to treat the subject either theoretically or from the viewpoint Of the present advantage of immunity to a particular country. Both methods of approach lack the essential background of history. Considerations of theory, history and policy all enter into any sound conclusions upon the present question.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Raid on the Red Sea is the thrilling, real-life tale of illegal gun-running in the Middle East. In this firsthand account, Amos Gilboa gives the harrowing details of the secret close-working relations between Israeli and American intelligence in the seizure of the Karine A ship, the most successful Israeli intelligence operation since the legendary Entebbe hostage rescue. At 0400 hours, January 3, 2002, two fast boats of Israel's naval commando unit closed in on the stern of the Palestinian Authority's Karine A. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had clandestinely loaded its cargo: fifty-six tons of high-grade, long-range weapons destined for the Gaza Strip. The Israelis' plan to seize it went awry when they found nothing but a confused group of Egyptians, Jordanians, and Palestinians. Had they boarded the wrong ship? Was there going to be an international incident disgracing Israel? This drama has more than its share of plot twists. The story's hero, a low-level female intelligence analyst, was the first to grasp the grave danger posed by the Karine A. Analyzing piles of disinformation, she kept on the scent of the ship, tracking it from Egypt to Sudan to Dubai. Only through the joint efforts of Israeli and U.S. naval intelligence, Mossad and the CIA, was the ship stopped and calamity averted. Seizing the ship led to a fateful reorientation of U.S. policy regarding the Middle East with consequences to this day, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the 2020 assassination of Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force chief Qasem Soleimani.
