Pirates, Piracy, Privateers

Rum drinking pirates occasionally need a refresher history class. Here are four books that serve that purpose:

Bowling, Tom - Pirates and Privateers

Bradford, Alfred S. - Flying the Black Flag~A Brief History of Piracy

Jowitt, Claire - Pirates? The Politics of Plunder, 1550-1650

Thomson, Janice E. - Mercenaries, Pirates, and Sovereigns~State-Building and Extraterritorial Violence in Early Modern Europe


Remember: IF you don't seed, the torrent dies. And it can't always be brought back to life.
