Pirates, buccaneers, freebooters, corsairs - whatever the name, they evoke a surprisingly romantic image in the modern mind. In this elegant and entertaining little book Iain Zaczk explores the myth and the reality behind the enduring image. From piracy's |golden age| in the 16th and 17th century to the sort of men attracted to this life, the ships they used and the routes they frequented to the famous buccaneers, the female pirates and the brigands of the silver screen - all entries are peppered with fascinating facts and anecdotes.
