Résumé ou extrait

• The term pirate instantly conjures up a picture of a figure in a battered coat and tricorne hat, festooned with weaponry and looking as if he could fillet you with his cutlass as soon as look at you. Pirates are used to sell everything from rum to cars, from homes to insurance. Like the pirate himself, the skull and crossbones symbol used on pirate flags has become an instantly recognizable and identifiable image - a symbol of piracy and of rebellion against authority. The reality is much more complex and spans all of history. Seperating myth from legend and fact from fiction, this book takes you into the very depths of the pirate's dark world to provide the reader with a complete account of the blood soaked history of piracy.
