Somali pirates set new records in 2008 in numbers of ships taken, in tonnages captured, and in ransoms paid. Merging and refining data from news reports and anti-piracy bureaus, this comprehensive yearbook collects every incident for every ship reported in 2008 whether off the Somali coast or in the Gulf of Aden; it composites the fullest description of each incident; it records all ransom data (and rumors); it describes ships' cargo and crew manning wherever possible; and it presents comprehensive lists and chronologies. Useful appendices include UN resolutions, press releases, and a press conference transcript with the regional U.S. commander.

This review is from: Somali Piracy Yearbook For 2008: A Compendium Of Seaborne Attacks, Rescues, And Analysis (Paperback)
High school yearbooks are great but Pirate yearbooks is where its at. Seriously, its a fascinating read, more so than your high school yearbook. Do you think there will be a Pirate Yearbook class of 2008 reunion?
