About
Capturing the drama of the high seas & those who sailed on them, this dictionary is a veritable treasure-chest of fact & fiction. It brings together both the real & imagined lives of brigands, buccaneers & privateers, from marauders off the coast of ancient Greece to the Chinese & Malay pirates of the 1870s. Enlivened by many historical quotations & comprehensive listings of the richest booty ever captured by pirates, the dictionary is also brimming with cross-references & contains a selected bibliography. The dictionary is a unique & authoritative work of reference & a much needed addition to the literature & history of the sea.
