Description

Pirates have fascinated people for centuries, and their legend has endured long after the Golden Age of piracy came to an end. This book explores both the fiction and fact behind the swashbuckling adventures of pirates, revealing surprising truths about the lives of those who sailed the high seas. While we may be familiar with some of the most famous pirates, such as Captain Morgan, there are others whose stories have been lost to history. Daniel Montbars, for example, was known as 'The Exterminator' due to his brutal treatment of Spanish enemies. By examining both the real and fictional accounts of piracy, historian Helen Hollick sheds new light on this captivating subject. Through her own research and storytelling, Hollick brings the pirate world to life, separating fact from fiction and revealing the complexities of a life that was both thrilling and deadly.
