What does history have to tell us about today’s piracy challenge? Is there anything new about what we are facing? What tools and methods were used before that we can use again? What are the foundations of successfully defeating threats to the free flow of commercial goods at market prices on the high seas?
Well, you have a great opportunity to find out.
On the 20th of October in Annapolis, MD, USNI is hosting the 2010 History Conference with the focus; Piracy on the High Seas: Can History Help Defeat Present-Day Pirates?
An “A-list” of speakers runs from former Commander of ESG-2 RADM Terence E. McKnight, USN (Ret.) to Professor Virginia S. Lunsford that makes this well worth your time to make the trip to the Annapolis Marriott Waterfront Hotel. Get all the details here.
Any yes; I made this post because – well – you know.
