The thirty-year golden age of piracy stretched into the early eighteenth century. During that time, as this vividly written book by historian Matthew West shows, poverty and oppression prompted many men—and even a few women—to sea in search of treasure, adventure, and sometimes revenge.
The treasure taken in a single trip could net a captain many times the profit an average sailor might expect to gain over a lifetime. The Pirates provides an exciting glimpse into the characters, crimes, and legends created by the buccaneers.

Lite hattigt skriven. Väldigt ytligt skriven men ger en bra översikt.

Ger en kort övergripande beskrivning av piraterna dels som människor, deras samtid samt ett kortare perspektiv på hur deras verksamhet än i dag utgör ett populärt tema för film och tv.
