Description
On 8th April 2009, an ordinary day turned extraordinary for Richard Phillips, captain of the US-registered cargo vessel Maersk Alabama. Two hundred miles off the east coast of Africa, armed Somali pirates attacked and boarded the freighter.
The ensuing events would test Captain Phillips' resolve and leadership skills to the limit, as he fought to save his ship and crew from the clutches of ruthless pirates.
This gripping account of one man's bravery in the face of overwhelming odds offers a harrowing insight into the world of modern piracy and the true story behind the 2009 hijacking of the Maersk Alabama.
