Description
"Set against the backdrop of the Age of Exploration, Black Flags, Blue Waters reveals the dramatic and surprising history of American piracy's 'Golden Age'--spanning the late 1600s through the early 1700s--when lawless pirates plied the coastal waters of North America and beyond. Blending scholarship and drama, Eric Jay Dolin illustrates how American colonists at first supported these outrageous pirates in an early display of solidarity against the British Crown, and then violently opposed them. Dolin depicts the star pirates of this period, among them the towering Blackbeard, the ill-fated Captain Kidd, and the sadistic Edward Low, who delighted in torturing his prey"--Back cover.
