DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Of Captain Mission is a classic pirate fiction by Daniel Defoe that includes the following prelude: Defoe has been recognized as the author of A General History of the Most Notorious Robberies and Murders of the Pyrates since 1932 when John Robert Moore suggested that the alleged The author, Captain Charles Johnson, like Andrew Moreton, Kara Selym, or Captain Roberts, was just another mask for the creator of Robinson Crusoe. Although most of the first volume is of minor literary importance, the second section that appeared in 1728 as The Story of the Pyrates began with a life "Of Captain Misson and his crew," one of the most notable and neglected works of fiction in Defoe. In the same way and at the same time that John Gay was satirizing the Walpole government in The Beggar's Opera.Defoe began using his pirates as a commentary on the injustice and hypocrisy of contemporary English society. Among Defoe's gallery of pirates are Captain White, who refused to rob women and children; Captain Bellamy, the revolutionary proletarian; and Captain North, whose sense of justice and honesty was a reprimand for government corruption under Walpole.

His courage is a model for all Americans." --President Barack Obama It was just another day on the job for fifty-three-year-old Richard Phillips, captain of the Maersk Alabama, the United States-flagged cargo ship which was carrying, among other things, food and agricultural materials for the World Food Program. That all changed when armed Somali pirates boarded the ship. The pirates didn't expect the crew to fight back, nor did they expect Captain Phillips to offer himself as hostage in exchange for the safety of his crew. Thus began the tense five-day stand-off, which ended in a daring high-seas rescue when U.S. Navy SEALs opened fire and picked off three of the captors. "It never ends like this," Captain Phillips said. And he's right. A Captain's Duty tells the life-and-death drama of the Vermont native who was held captive on a tiny lifeboat off Somalia's anarchic, gun-plagued shores. A story of adventure and courage, it provides the intimate details of this high-seas hostage-taking--the unbearable heat, the death threats, the mock executions, and the escape attempt. When the pirates boarded his ship, Captain Phillips put his experience into action, doing everything he could to safeguard his crew. And when he was held captive by the pirates, he marshaled all his resources to ensure his own survival, withstanding intense physical hardship and an escalating battle of wills with the pirates. This was it: the moment where training meets instinct and where character is everything. Richard Phillips was ready.
