This book "looks at the reality behind the legends and reveals a world often more bloodthirsty than anything acted out by Errol Flynn. It portrays the pirates in all their lawless glory, including a visit to the 'pirate capital' of Port Royal on Jamaica, once infamous as the 'wickedest city in the world', and an introduction to ruthless modern pirates who still strike fear into the hearts of seafarers today"--Page [4] cover.

L'activité frénétique des corsaires au large des côtes guadeloupéennes au temps de Victor Hugues a pu évoquer à divers titres celles des terribles pirates barbaresques qui sévissaient en Méditerranée à la même époque. C'est cette aventure méconnue que l'auteur nous fait revivre ici. Il décortique ce qu'il faut bien appeler une "économie corsaire", pendant la Révolution et l'Empire en Guadeloupe. La grande et la petite histoire se rejoignent ainsi en une épopée héroïque.
