Asymmetric Warfare at Sea

"Asymmetric Warfare at Sea" is a specialized book that addresses the topic of asymmetric warfare at sea, particularly in the context of global terrorism. It highlights the challenges posed by unregulated maritime spaces and analyzes how terrorist organizations exploit these conditions. A central example is the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), which integrated maritime strategies into their warfare and developed innovative tactics such as suicide attacks at sea and swarm attacks. The book provides a detailed examination of the 26-year conflict between the LTTE and the Sri Lanka Navy, which ultimately regained control of the seas through the use of asymmetric tactics. This analysis offers valuable insights for maritime strategists, policymakers, academics, and military personnel dealing with the complex dynamics of asymmetric warfare at sea.
