5.0 out of 5 stars Forebearers of Piracy
Really interesting! I did not know any of this deeper history behind the classic pirates. They were horrible criminals boosted into prominence by desperate, greedy warring European states. The story of these monsters is both fascinating and sickening. This booklet gives a good, I think accurate picture or the development of this group. Many interesting illustrations. All at a reasonable price.

I was hoping to have more picture that clarified the clothing. it has plenty of pictures but I look at them and am not sure what i learned.
4.0 out of 5 stars Avast, a Worthy Overview
This is an Osprey book, so you need to think in terms of an adult version of the Eyewitness picture books. You shouldn't expect an exhaustively comprehensive treatment of the subject, after all they tend to be only 1/4 inch thick.So, with expectations aligned, this is a fairly well done treatment of the subject of buccaneers. There are quite a few pictures to compliment the text and the topics covered include their origins, attire, weapons, ships, havens and tactics. Konstam gives us some brief biographies of a few of the famous names like Morgan, Myngs, Nau, Grammont and de Graaf.An excellent overview suitable for adolescents and adults, for more detail on de Graaf and Grammont you can check Clifford's The Lost Fleet, for more of an overview of piracy through the ages check Konstam's History of Pirates.
