Piracy - The Complete History jellemzők
The term 'pirate' instantly conjures up a picture of a fearsome figure in a battered coat and tricorne hat, festooned with weaponry and brandishing a cutlass on the quarterdeck of his helpless victims' ship. 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. Separating 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 acount of the blood-soaked history of piracy.
