Dead in the Water: A True Story of Hijacking, Murder, and a Global Maritime Conspiracy

byKit ChellelandMatthew Campbell

In July 2011, the oil tanker Brillante Virtuoso was drifting through the treacherous Gulf of Aden when a crew of pirates attacked and set her ablaze in a devastating explosion. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Dead in the Water moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Dead in the Water within biography & autobiography and political science, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment.
