Description
The Sea Rover's Practice: Pirate Tactics and Techniques, 1630-1730 The image of the pirate has become a staple of popular culture, but the reality of sea roving is far more complex. Successful sea rovers were skilled practitioners of a profession that relied on stratagem and force of arms to achieve wealth. Drawing from European traditions, they operated across the globe, using innovative tactics to attack ships and towns. From the musket and grenade to fortifications and jungle crossings, the tactics employed by these self-described "soldiers and privateers" are detailed in this book. It is a unique insight into the world of sea rovers during the 17th and 18th centuries, and one that sheds light on the enduring influence of these tactics on naval warfare. With exceptional detail, The Sea Rover's Practice explores the tactics and techniques of this fascinating period, providing a valuable resource for historians and enthusiasts alike.
