The Hollywood stereotype – black flags and peg-legs, cutlasses and cannons, exotic yet sinister pets, buried treasure – is familiar and entrancing … but there is much more to be told.
Dr Richard Blakemore takes the reader on a voyage of discovery: investigating who these pirates really were, and explaining their incredible, often unrecognised, impact on history.
