Under the black flag : the romance and the reality of life among the pirates
Cordingly, David
Under the black flag : the romance and the reality of life among the pirates / David Cordingly - New York : Random House , 1995 - 296 p. ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index
For this rousing, revisionist history, the former head of exhibitions at England's National Maritime Museum has combed original documents and records to produce a most authoritative and definitive account of piracy's "Golden Age." As he explodes many accepted myths (i.e. "walking the plank" is pure fiction), Cordingly replaces them with a truth that is more complex and often bloodier.
