Somewhere between 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Treasure Island' lies 'The Somali Pirate' — a dramatic adventure novel initially released in 2009. This is the first Somali pirate novel to hit the market, and has since become a classic land-and-sea story. The book centers on coastal resident Noor Fayrus, his upbringing in Somalia, and how by degrees he turns from fisherman’s apprentice to full-fledged pirate. The facts of history surrounding this high seas drama have been meticulously researched to ensure the reader is left with an arsenal of knowledge concerning Somali piracy that will hold water in contemporary debates on the subject. And make no mistake about it, herein you'll also find plenty of swashbuckling action, sea battles, and subtle nuances of Somalia life and culture, which, thanks to Noor’s experiences growing up there, are recounted to the reader in rare detail. *This special Kindle version contains illustrations.
