1 x 8 x 5.4 Inches; 320 pages; The Pirate Wars takes the fable of ocean-going Robin Hoods sailing under the banner of King Death and contrasts it with the murderous reality of robbery, torture and death on the high seas. Noted maritime historian Peter Earle charts centuries of piracy, from Cornwall to the Caribbean, from the sixteenth century to the hanging of the last pirate captain in Boston in 1835. Along the way, we meet characters like Edward Teach, the notorious Blackbeard, the treasure-hungry Captain Kidd, the dreaded corsairs of Barbary, and defiant buccaneers of the West Indies. The Pirate Wars is an account of the Golden Age of pirates and of the men of the legitimate navies of the world charged with the task of finally bringing these cutthroats to justice., Very Good in Very Good dust jacket Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line.
