Driven from Power: The Hidden War for Maritime Freedom In an era defined by strategic competition and global instability, the open seas—once symbols of freedom and trade—are now battlegrounds of quiet desperation. Driven from Power: The Hidden War for Maritime Freedom uncovers the underreported struggle for control over vital sea routes, exposing how nations, corporations, and illicit actors are challenging international maritime norms, threatening the flow of global commerce and energy. Why Maritime Freedom Matters
Maritime freedom underpins nearly 90% of global trade and carries critical oil, gas, and food supplies across continents. Yet, rising tensions, territorial disputes, and the proliferation of maritime coercion have placed this freedom under unprecedented strain. This book sheds light on the covert and often ambiguous forms of pressure—ranging from aggressive naval posturing and cyberattacks on shipping infrastructure to piracy and smuggling networks—that undermine stability on the world’s oceans. The Hidden Faces of Conflict
Driven from Power reveals how state and non-state actors exploit legal grey zones to dominate maritime corridors—whether through coercive economic measures, militarized enforcement, or algorithmic control of shipping data. The author details real-world incidents: commercial vessels botted in exclusive economic zones without justification, supply chains disrupted by masked raiders, and powerful fleets using force to secure resource-rich waters.
