Enemy Of All Mankind by Steven Johnson
A True Story of Piracy, Power, and History's First Global Manhunt
A narrative centered on the 1695 capture of a Mughal pilgrimage ship by the pirate Henry Every and the massive diplomatic, commercial, and legal fallout that followed, showing how a single transoceanic crime threatened the English East India Company’s trade, provoked a multinational manhunt and diplomatic crisis with the Mughal Empire, and helped catalyze new practices in information circulation, international cooperation, and maritime law that shaped the early modern global order.
