Title: Fascinating!
Review: If you thought pirates lived glamorous lifestyles while hunting for loot and made their victims walk the plank, think again! And read this book! These are two of the myths about pirates the author dispells.The truth alarming enough! Readers will learn that England encouraged its sailorsto plunder French and Spanish ships and to that end granted pirates letters of marque to legitimize their actions (eventually the government got out of the business of granting letters of marque).The book also reveals that many pirates were indeed barbaric and took no quarter. As England began cracking down on pirates punishment was swift. Many were hanged at Execution Dock along the Thames River.An excellent book!
