This exciting scholarly work examines Dutch maritime violence in
the seventeenth-century. With its flourishing maritime trade and
lucrative colonial possessions, the young Dutch Republic enjoyed a
cultural and economic pre-eminence, becoming the leading commercial
power in the world. Dutch seamen plied the world's waters, trading,
exploring, and colonizing. Many also took up pillaging, terrorizing
their victims on the high seas and on European waterways.
Surprisingly, this story of Dutch freebooters and their
depredations remains almost entirely untold until now. Piracy and
Privateering in the Golden Age Netherlands presents new data and
understandings of early modern piracy generally, and also sheds
important new light on Dutch and European history as well, such as
the history of national identity and state formation, and the
history of crime and criminality
