Blood and silver : piracy in the Americas, 1500-1750
Lane, Kris E.1999
Book
In this study of piracy, Kris Lane looks at the often mixed motives behind the phenomenon and the lives of those involved. Rejecting the romantic myth of the Elizabethan swashbuckler, he reveals a world of violence, hardship and fanaticism, in which self-enrichment was the obsession.
