520    In 2009, the United States was hit broadside by Somali 
       pirates who attempted to capture the U.S. flag ship Maersk
       Alabama. Suddenly, the pirates were no longer a distant 
       menace. They had thrust themselves onto the American 
       stage. Are the Somali pirates a legion of desperate 
       fisherman attacking cargo ships and ocean cruisers to 
       reclaim their waters? Or is piracy connected to crime 
       networks and the madness that grips Somalia? What threats 
       do pirates pose to international security? To answer these
       questions, Peter Eichstaedt crisscrosses East Africa, 
       meeting with pirates both in and out of prisons, talking 
       with them about their lives, tactics, and motives. 
       Ultimately, he comes face-to-face with a former fighter 
       with Somalia?s brutal Islamic al-Shabaab militia. He 
       discovers that piracy is a symptom of a much deeper 
       problem: Somalia itself.  Pirate State explores the links 
       between the pirates, global financiers, and extremists who
       control southern Somalia and whose influence extends 
       across the Gulf of Aden into Yemen and connects to 
       extremists in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Somali pirates
       are desperate and dangerous men who will do just about 
       anything for money, and Pirate State argues that turning a
       blind eye to piracy and the problems of Somalia is 
       inviting a disaster of horrific proportions--Product
