Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Riveting account traces careers of buccaneers of many nationalities across two centuries and around the globe—from the West Indies to the Indian Ocean and the South Seas. True stories of such notorious brigands as Captain Kidd and Edward (Blackbeard) Teach, as well as such lesser-known pirates as John Quelch, Christopher Scudamore, John Rackam, Samuel Bellamy, and Erasmus Peterson. Vivid, dramatic tales—unfolding against the exotic backgrounds of Jamaica, Mauritius, Madagascar, and other isles—will be treasured by historians, maritime enthusiasts, and lovers of swashbuckling adventure.
