"Miller's Marine War Risks is the only book devoted to drawing together and analysing the insurance of commercial shipping against war risks. It merges analysis of the legal principles, case law, and legislation with the practice of the insurance market in order to provide commentary on difficult questions concerning liabilities, claims, and coverage. With global events becoming more uncertain in the Gulf and elsewhere, the updating of Michael Miller's classic text will be of great use to legal practitioners, the insurance market, and the shipping industry throughout the world"-- Provided by publisher.
