Synopsis
For this rousing, revisionist history, the former head of exhibitions at England's National Maritime Museum has combed original documents and records to produce a most authoritative and definitive account of piracy's "Golden Age." As he explodes many accepted myths (i. e. "walking the plank" is pure fiction), Cordingly replaces them with a truth that is more complex and often bloodier.
