Much imitated but never surpassed, this is the great book of pirate lore. Ranging from ancient to modern times, it explores the rise of piracy, who the pirates were and where they came from, and why they disappeared. A dramatic narrative and cast of colorful characters complement its impeccable scholarship. 21 black-and-white illustrations.
Reprint of the Longmans, Green and Co., New York, 1932 edition.
