Black, a well-regarded Jamaican archivist, shares the story of the pirates and buccaneers who trolled the waters of the Caribbean over the centuries. The author provides an overview of piracy and then spends the rest of the short book sharing the stories of some of the more prominent pirates--Henry Morgan, Capt. Richard Sawkins, Capt. Howel Davis, Capt. Bartholomew Roberts, Capt. George Lowther, Capt. Charles Vane, Capt. Teach (Blackbeard), Jack Rackham and the women pirates (Mary Read and Anne Bonny), Capt. John Evans, and Nicholas Brown. A timeline, glossary of terms, and bibliography are included. Although the author's knowledge of his subject is apparent and evidence of research is apparent, the work itself is marred by the absence of footnotes or end notes. Even though the author includes a bibliography, we cannot see where the various sources were utilized. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
