520    The most authoritative history of piracy, Frank Sherry's 
       rich and colorful account reveals the rise and fall of the
       real "raiders and rebels" who terrorized the seas. From 
       1692 to 1725 pirates sailed the oceans of the world, 
       plundering ships laden with the riches of India, Africa, 
       South America, and the Caribbean. Often portrayed as 
       larger-than-life characters, these outlaw figures and 
       their bloodthirsty exploits have long been immortalized in
       fiction and film. But beneath the legends is the true 
       story of these brigands -- often common men and women 
       escaping the social and economic restrictions of 18th-
       century Europe and America. Their activities threatened 
       the beginnings of world trade and jeopardized the security
       of empires. And together, the author argues, they 
       fashioned a surprisingly democratic society powerful 
       enough to defy the world. Includes material on Blackbeard,
       Anne Bonny, William Kidd, "Calico Jack" Rackam, Henry 
       Every (a.k.a. John Avery), Woodes Rogers, and "Black Bart"
       Roberts.
