“This is the most authoritative and highly literate account of these pernicious people that I have ever read.”—Patrick O'Brian
“[A] wonderfully entertaining history of pirates and piracy . . . a rip-roaring read . . . fascinating and unexpected.”—Men's Journal
This rollicking account of the golden age of piracy is packed with vivid history and high seas adventure.
David Cordingly, an acclaimed expert on pirates, reveals the spellbinding truth behind the legends of Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Sir Francis Drake, the fierce female brigands Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and others who rode and robbed upon the world's most dangerous waters. Here, in thrilling detail, are the weapons they used, the ships they sailed, and the ways they fought—and were defeated. Under the Black Flag also charts the paths of fictional pirates such as Captain Hook and Long John Silver.
The definitive resource on the subject, this book is as captivating as it is supremely entertaining.
