"Clear, expert reporting on a region of which many Americans may be unaware." Kirkus Reviews
"[A] compelling book . . . [Eichstaedt's] even-handed polished style, and impressive documentation let the horrors and ramifications of piracy speak for themselves." Publishers Weekly web-exclusive reviews (February 28, 2011)
"Peter Eichstaedt traveled through some of Africa's most dangerous territory to piece together the inside story of Somalia's pirate scourge. . . . Exhilarating, exhaustive, and written with a passion for a troubled land." --Rob Crilly, journalist and author, Saving Darfur
"This no-holds-barred book should be on the desk of every politico in our nation and beyond . . . . A gripping, page turner . . . . Not a single person can afford to walk away and continue to believe that this is an 'African Problem'; this is a world problem." Salem-News.com
