Real Pyrates

DeFoe brings the lives of the classic era of pyrates to life. Men like Low, really evil, Teach, not a nice guy, Misson, a utopian, Bartholomew Roberts, cutthroat, come to life. He must have attended the trials in England of some of the pyrates and reports their stories in a lively fashion. The actions of the pyrates were well known to the merchants in London and the cause of great concern. These men killed a lot of people and the English navy hanged most of them, except for the scores killed in battle(like Black Bart and Blackbeard), and the exceptional man who retired. These pyrates disrupted commerce around the world and left many innocent merchantmen dead or bankrupt. This is an interesting read for people who want the true story.
