Gasparilla:
Pirate Genius
by James F. Kaserman
In Gasparilla: Pirate Genius, the times are rough, the murders are
graphic and savage, sex can be raw; revenge is vicious, and treatment of
women, gentle or crude. Kaserman introduces us to the wisdom of this pirate
king---ideas that may help civilization in the millennium...and he hints
where the treasures may have been, and perhaps, still are, hidden. This
is a story of power, romance, and tragedy.

The
History of Pirates
by Angus Konstam, David Cordingly
Piracy flourished in the early 18th century, producing many of the
buccaneers whose legendary names have gripped our imaginations: Blackbeard,
Captain Kidd, and Bartholomew Roberts, to name a few. Yet piracy on the
high seas existed long before Blackbeard's name struck terror in the hearts
of merchant seamen - Julius Caesar was captured by pirates - and it remains
a problem today. Modern pirates regularly attack vessels sailing through
the South China Sea. The History of Pirates traces piracy from the seas
of antiquity to the New World and beyond. It represents a thorough, authoritative,
and memorable portrait of the fascinating world of pirates. Detailed maps
bear vivid testimony to the far-ranging exploits of these capricious, often
charismatic, and frequently bloodthirsty robbers of the high seas. (8 1/2
11, 192 pages, color photos, maps, illustrations)
Angus Konstam was formerly Curator of Arms and Armour at the Tower of
London, and was also Chief Curator at the Mel Fisher Maritime Museum in
Key West. Konstam's vast knowledge of maritime history, and his study of
countless manuscripts and historic objects, have helped to make this book
a truly exceptional study.
David Cordingly is the editor of A General History of the Robberies
& Murders of the Most Notorious Pirates. He was on the staff of the
National Maritime Museum in London for twelve years. He organized multiple
exhibitions, including "Pirates: Fact & Fiction." Cordingly graduated
from Oxford University, where he studied modern history, and received his
doctorate from the University of Sussex. The Publisher.

The
Pirate Hunter: The True Story of Captain Kidd
by Richard Zacks
Book Description:
A literary treasure, The Pirate Hunter is a masterpiece of historical
detective work, and a rare, authentic pirate story for grown-ups.
Captain Kidd has gone down in history as America's most ruthless buccaneer,
fabulously rich, burying dozens of treasure chests up and down the eastern
seaboard. But it turns out that most everyone, even many respected scholars,
have the story all wrong. Captain William Kidd was no career cut-throat;
he was a tough, successful New York sea captain who was hired to chase
pirates. His three-year odyssey aboard the aptly named Adventure galley
pitted him against arrogant Royal Navy commanders, jealous East India Company
captains, storms, starvation, angry natives, and, above all, flesh-and-blood
pirates. Superbly written and impeccably researched, The Pirate Hunter
is one ripping good yarn.

Pirates : And the Politics of the Jolly Roger
by Ulrike Klausmann, Marion Meinzerin, Gabriel Kuhn, Tyler Austin,
An account of piracy through three millennia, in histories of women
and men sailing on four seas: the Chinese Straits, the Mediterranean, the
Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean. Writing with passion and humour, but
without romanticizing, or ignoring the unsavoury side of some of their
heroines, the authors turn history on its head. Nor do they forget the
practical details, even including genuine recipes for shark and other delights.
