Description
A new history of piracy, from the Vikings to Somali raiders. You will learn about the origins of piracy – its beginnings date back to the time when people first began to use ships. Today, piracy is limited to certain locations. The book describes the methods of attacking ships, ports, or villages and towns along the coast. It also explores how these strategies evolved over time with the advent of new technologies, political alliances, and so on. It debunks romantic notions of pirates that have been created by many stories and Hollywood films. Portraits of the most famous pirates are also included. For clarity, the book is supplemented with maps and drawings of ships.
