About this title

Review:

Bruce Elleman is a formidable scholar whose work has always brought together deep historical understanding and contemporary topicality. In focusing on the vital and neglected area of contextualised approaches to suppression of piracy as a threat to the security of the maritime commons, his latest work fills a gap in the literature of both maritime power and the Indo-Pacific region.--James A. Kelly, former U.S. assistant secretary of state for East Asian affairs

Given the importance and value of international maritime trade, it is perhaps surprising that more academics have not turned to this subject in the past. This book is, therefore, a valuable addition to the maritime security studies field. For readers with a more regional focus, the inclusion of case studies from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia and, most obviously, the Malacca Straits area, will add fresh perspectives to familiar problems.--Asian Affairs
