the myths and realities of pirate life, examining the stories of
adventure on the seas, the biographies of practicing pirates throughout
history, and considering pirate ships and vivid battles alike. Other
books on pirate history may offer the same viewpoint with a less
detailed perspective: SCOURGE OF THE SEAS covers not just events and
personalities, but is packed with details about ships, weaponry, codes
of behavior, and holds plenty of color not of the white race; - commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro blood, pure or mixed.
