A Captain's Duty: Somali Pirates, Navy SEALs, and Dangerous Days at Sea
Description
In this gripping memoir, a merchant mariner recounts the harrowing 2009 voyage during which his ship was seized by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean. As a captain responsible for his crew’s safety, he faces an escalating crisis that tests leadership, courage, and the limits of human endurance. The narrative offers an insider’s view of modern piracy, maritime security, and the high-stakes negotiations that unfold far from shore. Tense, immediate, and deeply personal, it is a compelling account of duty under extraordinary pressure.
