Book Description

London: Jill Norman & Hobhouse. Near Fine/Very Good+. 1981. First Edition. Hardback. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0906908655 Illustrated with 8 pages of plates and 5 maps. 304 pages including Sources and Bibliography, Notes, and Index. Henry Morgan's epic capture and sack of the city of Panama in 1671 is one of the most fascinating and exciting of historical adventure stories. This book tells the story once again, but gives it an entirely new dimension by devoting nearly as much space to the long-suffering Spaniards who were the victims as to the Jamaican privateers who were the aggressors. This has been possible through the exploitation of the massive documentation in the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, a source which has been completely neglected by all previous books on the subject. A few foxing spots to top page edges, otherwise boards and contents nice and clean. Dust-jacket has minor bumping to some corners and top/bottom of spine, plus one tiny closed tear repaired inside with clear archival standard tape; jacket is in a loose protective cover. A Near Fine copy in a Very Good+ dust-jacket. .
