The Golden Age of Piracy

By John Istor

From the buccaneers of the seventeenth-century Caribbean to the pirate stronghold of Nassau and the brutal suppression campaigns of the 1720s, this book traces the rise and fall of the Golden Age of Piracy. Follow Henry Morgan, Henry Every, William Kidd, Blackbeard, Samuel Bellamy, Charles Vane, Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Bartholomew Roberts, Edward Low, Woodes Rogers, and the sailors, merchants, governors, and naval officers who shaped their world. Drawing on contemporary accounts and modern scholarship, it explores pirate battles, captured ships, privateering, mutiny, trade, colonial politics, life aboard pirate vessels, and the growing naval power that eventually closed the seas to them, separating the documented history from the legends that followed.
