Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the Horn of Africa
The first contribution to Global Flashpoints: A Scarecrow Press Series, Christopher Daniels' Somali Piracy and Terrorism in the Horn of Africa provides readers with a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of the spate of piracy and terrorism plaguing the waters of Somalia and the global threat posed by this activity. Contesting the commonly held perception that the piracy and terrorism occurring in Somalia are two separate and unrelated activities, Daniels reveals how the collapse of the Somali state and the chaos that has ensued created the environment for piracy and terrorism to flourish in combination. He also notes how the failure to restore a functioning central government has allowed bot...

Money's on the Dresser
"In September of 2009 I began working as an escort in Las Vegas after breaking up with my partner of four years. As a newly single man I felt lost, scared to be on my own and broke so, I decided to place an ad on a few websites advertising male escorts and hired companions. To my surprise, hours after the ad went up I began receiving a wide range of requests.

I didn't know what else to do with these feelings, so I decided to write. Here is a collection of short stories based on those experiences"--P. [4] of cover.

Taiwan Straits
In Taiwan Straits: Crisis in Asia and the Role of the U.S. Navy, historian Bruce Elleman surveys the situation that has led to the current tensions between China and Taiwan. Starting in 1949, the final phase of the civil war in China, which ended with Communist rule of the mainland and nationalist control of Taiwan, this work explores how the 100-mile wide passage of water, known as the Taiwan Strait has served as the geographic flashpoint between the two nations. Even though U.S. Navy destroyers have patrolled this body of water from 1950 to 1979, it has seen four crises—1954-55, 1958, 1962, and, after the withdrawal of the U.S. Navy, 1995-96—that threatened to push Taiwan and China to ...
