PIRATES POCKET BOOK by Stuart Robinson

PIRATES POCKET BOOK by Stuart Robinson

Pirates themselves - usually young and bold men, bred to the sea and eager to find profit in adventure upon it at others' expense - occupy a special place in our imagination. They are horribly fascinating creatures.

"'It is with great concern that I must still acquaint your Lordships of the daily complaints I receive of piracies and robberies committed in these parts, insomuch that there is hardly one ship or vessel, coming in or going out of this island that is not plundered' (Sir Nicholas Lawes, Governor of Jamaica, June 1718)"

Stuart Robertson is a former staff editor at Conway. He is a co-author of Conway's The War at Sea and compiled The Pirate's Pocket-Book.
