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. 16 pp. of photos. Maps. ‚From the Hardcover edition.‘
