Trade Review
The first comprehensive, scholarly look at the artifactual evidence of real pirates, recovered at both shipwrecks and known pirate bases. - Archaeology Magazine ""The reader unused to digesting professional publications will, pardon the pun, sail through this book as if it were a collection of novellas! This is the definitive book on pirates and the research being done to dispel all of the fables."" - Dirtbrothers.org
