Those travelling on the seas have always been vulnerable to the
attacks of predators acting within or without the law. In the
eighteenth and nineteenth centuries such assaults reached new
heights as the development of trans-oceanic empires increased
massively the wealth and extent of sea-borne trade, and with it the
potential for prize-taking. Pirates and Privateers focuses on the
character of pirate communities in the Caribbean, the East Indies
and China, and on the scale and significance of privateering
operations based in the principal European maritime states. It
brings together the latest work of an internationally renowned
group of scholars to shed fresh light on the fascinating,
frequently misunderstood subject of violence at sea in the age of
sail.
