Reviews
"'They are violent fellows, and ought to be encourag'd to go to sea, for Old Harry can't govern them on shoar.' Daniel Defoe 'His scholarship is solid, and his telling of this complex story is lucid and well-paced.' Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph. * 'A thoroughly entertaining read that dispels a number of myths and spins many a good yarn' Daily Mail * 'Masterful...a much needed reappraisal' The Sunday Times, Best Summer Books * 'Peter Earle's distinguished and thorough study... puts all kinds of preconceptions about piracy to the sword... a fascinating and timely reminder that no outlaw ever exists outside the society he opposes' Scotland on Sunday"
