manzanab's review against another edition

dark funny informative medium-paced

4.0

A quick, accessible intro to the history around the Golden Age of Piracy.  Being something of a survey, it can't give enough detail into any one event or figure to satisfy all curiosity, but it's got a lot of great leads to follow up on.  Unavoidably deals with a lot of extremely dark subjects; while I especially appreciated the contextualization of the British naval culture, it's got some serious nightmare fuel there.  Easy reading style-wise, and love having the bibliography!
