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. 16 pp. of photos. Maps.
"From the Hardcover edition."
