Title: Not all glitz and glamour
Review: I purchased this book on the recommendation of a co-worker and I thought it painted an acurate picture of what pirate life truly was, long periods of boredom puctuated by brief periods of excitement. While some did strike it rich, many didn't.This book describes how misconseption in a world where communication took months, sometimes years could make a "hero" into a criminal. Also how the word of the upper class was always true. Captain Kidd was not a successful pirate and was bamboozeled by money hungry artistocrats to become a privateer and capture ships of the enemy. However, through mutinees, bad luck, and betrayal, Kidd was partially successful, only to be stabbed in the back in the end.
