Description: |
ex libris with the usual markings, dust jacket is worn along the edges but is in a protective plastic sleeve, the top and bottom edges of the cover show some wear-through and bumped corners includes maps, drawings and photos of paintings "The first comprehensive, worldwide survey of piracy, this is a fascinating tale of exotic and romantic climes and of crusty cutthroats whose very names were frightening and whose dastardly deeds still echo down the ages. Handsomely and abundantly illustrated, this is the compelling history of a subject as old as mankind's earliest venture onto the briny deep, and it is peopled with larger-than-life but all-too-real buccaneers and sea dogs who spread terror all across the world's Seven Seas." |
