Citadel

Description

Review A fascinating insight into the world of contemporary piracy and a remarkable man's journey to fight it. CITADEL is straight from the pages of a Boy's Own novel but it's worth remembering that it's a true story. Jordan Wylie takes us on a journey to places most of us will never see, and thankfully so. A riveting tale of swashbuckling, war and banditry on the high seas in the modern era. --LEVISON WOOD Explorer, Photographer and WriterThe scourge of piracy continues around the globe and this is an action packed account from a man who has been at the sharp end many times. --ADMIRAL JAMES STAVRIDIS, US Navy (Retired) NATO Supreme Allied Commander (2009-2013)From the streets of Blackpool to the Badlands of the Horn of Africa - a compelling, full throttle story of one man's fight against 21st Century piracy. --TIM MARSHALL International Bestselling Author About the Author After leaving the ships, Jordan set up an immensely successful facility for the improved training of security personnel, on land and sea. At age 33, he is now the UK managing director of a multi-million pound company dealing in all aspects of security in the post 9/11 world including cyber awareness, people-trafficking and drug dealing. He has become a go to expert for many organisations and governments and has spoken on these issues at the United Nations in New York. The success of private security teams has led to a sharp decline in pirate attacks in the Horn of Africa. But the threat has not gone forever. In the right political and economic circumstances, it could easily reawaken in fact, sparks of activity have been recently reported.
