Pirates of Somalia: The Hijacking and Daring Rescue of MV Maersk Alabama

The oceans can be a dangerous place; Captain Richard Phillips knew this. Still he never imagined what would happen to him or his crew on April 8, 2009, when Somalian pirates boarded and captured his ship. With the gripping narrative of a page-turning thriller novel, this book recounts the capture of the Alabama by pirates, and the daring rescue of the hostages.
