This riveting chronicle provides a fascinating glimpse of piracy, tracing the careers of buccaneers of many nationalities across two centuries and around the globe-from the West Indies to the Indian Ocean and the South Seas. Here are true adventures of such notorious brigands as Captain Kidd and Edward (Blackbeard) Teach, and such lesser-known marauders as John Quelch, Christopher Scudamore and Erasmus Peterson.
