Villains of All Nations by Marcus Rediker
In this volume, Marcus Rediker presents a social history of Atlantic piracy, focusing on its 'golden age' from 1716 to 1726 and emphasizing how common seamen who turned pirate built for themselves a multicultural, democratic and egalitarian society.
No one who is interested in the history of the eighteenth century can afford to ignore this book-- Christopher Hill
Triumphant ... What distinguishes Rediker's work is his unwavering and unsentimental focus on the seaman's labour and experience in his cramped wooden world. -- E.P. Thompson
