Overview

The History of Pirates From the first seafaring raiders of the ancient world to the legendary captains of the Golden Age, this book tells the full story of how piracy shaped trade, war, and exploration. It begins in the early civilizations of Egypt, Greece, and Rome, where the first organized sea raids changed the balance of power across the Mediterranean, and follows the rise of the Barbary corsairs and the Atlantic adventurers who turned rebellion into empire. You will read how the Golden Age of Piracy swept through the Caribbean, how captains like Blackbeard, Henry Morgan, and Anne Bonny ruled the seas, and how governments across Europe united to bring them down. The story continues into the modern era, where piracy returned in new forms across Africa and Asia, carried out with engines instead of sails but driven by the same hunger and desperation. Throughout the book, you will find clear writing and detailed pictures showing countless ships, and the faces of the captains who once made the whole sea fear their names. From the wooden decks of the Caribbean to the shadowed waters of modern trade routes, every image helps bring their world to life. The journey ends by exploring how piracy never truly disappeared, how it adapted to a changing world, and why the sea still hides more than it reveals.
