Pirates
by Nigel Cawthorne (2013)
About this book
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.
