Everyone knows about pirates …or do they?
The Hollywood stereotype – black flags and peg-legs, cutlasses and cannons, exotic yet sinister pets, buried treasure – is familiar and entrancing … but there is much more to be told.
This new book by Richard Blakemore takes the reader on a voyage of discovery: investigating who these pirates really were, explaining their incredible, often unrecognised, impact on history. Socially, economically and politically, pirates and piracy moulded European empires as they rose to global power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They shaped our modern world and left troubling legacies.
You will never see pirates in the same way again.
