Twelve scholars of piracy show why pirates thrived in the New World seas of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century empires, how pirates operated their plundering ventures, how governments battled piracy, and when and why piracy declined. The essays presented take the study of piracy, which can easily lapse into rousing, romanticized stories, to new heights of rigor and insight. 650 0 $a Pirates $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a Pirates $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Piracy $z Atlantic Ocean Region $x History. 650 0 $a Piracy $z Caribbean Area $x History. 651 0 $a Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Atlantic Ocean Region $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x History $y 17th century. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x History $y 18th century. 700 1 $a Head, David $c (Historian) $e editor. 941 $a 4 952 $l DFPC353 $d 20240430021018.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20191026010406.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20191026010114.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180907030912.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=874D40ACB26511E8BB1AE23C97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
