Shipping Interdiction and the Law of the Sea

Review of the hardback: '... Douglas Guilfoyle has shed considerable light on an area that has been somewhat neglected ... the book achieves its aims unreservedly ... extremely well written ... highly accessible throughout ... This volume constitutes an outstanding contribution to the current corpus of literature on the modern law of the sea and appears set to constitute the cornerstone publication on this area of the law for a considerable period of time.' Journal of International Maritime Law 'Shipping Interdiction and the Law of the Sea by Douglas Guilfoyle is the most comprehensive volume of contemporary theory and state practice available on the subject ... His analysis and judgments are sound, making [the book] a reference for scholars, government civilian officials, and especially the uniformed judge advocates of the sea services ... [It] ... is unique in its coverage of maritime interdiction, and the text moves effortlessly across civil, criminal, and military seams. The volume is very well researched and well written, and it is authoritative yet highly readable. Guilfoyle strikes just the right balance between detail and depth throughout ...'
