Description

New York, NY, U.S.A.: Hearst Marine Books, 1986. Tan paper on boards, brown cloth on spine. Owners bookplate on fep. Jacket is lightly worn on edges. Now in clear cover. From the Author's Note: "The era covered in this narrative - roughly from 1690 through the 1720's - has sometimes been called 'The Golden Age of Piracy.' This is because, during those decades, the world experienced the most intense outbreak of banditry ever recorded. This book is an attempt to give an account of the main events of that enormous eruption of piracy - and to portray the often-out-sized personalities who played the chief roles in it. It is my particular task in this account to try to lay bare the chain of cause and effect that created the piracy - and shaped the pirates - of that explosive epoch. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
