1. 1. The History Of Pirates

   

   An accessible, illustrated survey of piracy from antiquity to the modern era, it explores the economic and political forces that spawned sea rovers, how they organized their crews, the ships, weapons, tactics, and codes they relied on, and the distinction between pirates, privateers, and corsairs. It profiles notorious figures of the Golden Age, examines regional traditions from the Caribbean and Atlantic to the Barbary Coast and the South China Sea, dispels myths about buried treasure and swashbuckling stereotypes, and explains how concerted naval campaigns eventually curtailed large-scale piracy.
