In addition, he excessively relies on existing literature on Somalia and Islamic movements to tell the story and the problems of the country. His major source is his earlier book entitled Small Boat, Weak States, Dirty Money: Piracy Maritime Terrorism in the Modern World (2009). Murphy relies on two sources for much of the information used in the book.
Most chapters can be standalone commentaries and the author does not try to provide a conceptual framework that can turn the diverse narratives into a coherent story. The author endeavors to summarize such diverse topics about Somalia and piracy in 180 pages. Murphy’s book is divided into 28 chapters that attempt to cover Somali political history and culture, the relationship between piracy and state failure, Islam and Islamic movement, and many other topics. The principal aim of the author is to inform policy makers in the West about the causes, nature and dynamics of piracy off the Somali coast, and to provide what he considers a more logically and cost effective way of dealing with the matter.
