This book is a worthy addition to the two related areas of maritime insurance and fraud.

It covers the extent to which fraudulent activity is covered by standard marine policies, and the effect upon the validity of both contracts of insurance and claims that might be made upon them of frauds committed by assureds, brokers, assignees and others.
