The definitive biography of history'smost fearsome and famous
pirate
Of all the colorful cutthroats who scoured the seas in search of
plunder during the Golden Age of Piracy in the early eighteenth
century, none was more ferocious or notorious than Blackbeard. As
unforgettable as his savage career was, much of Blackbeard's life
has been shrouded in mystery--until now.
Drawing on vivid descriptions of Blackbeard's attacks from his
rare surviving victims, pirate expert Angus Konstam traces
Blackbeard's career from its beginnings to his final defeat in a
tremendous sea battle near his base at Ocracoke Island. Presenting
dramatic accounts of the pirate's very effective tactics and his
reputation for cruelty, Konstam offers a fascinating examination of
the life and business of piracy and the lure of this brutal and
bloody trade.
