Download or read book Blood and Silver written by Kris E. Lane and published by Signal Books. This book was released on 1999 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new and original study of piracy, Kris Lane looks at the often mixed motives behind the phenomenon and the lives of those involved. Rejecting the romantic myth of the Elizabethan swashbuckler, he reveals a world of violence, hardship and fanaticism, in which self-enrichment was an obsession. From the first corsairs of the 16th century to the last of the buccaneers, he traces the rise and fall of a dangerous profession which encompassed slave-running, smuggling and ship-wrecking.
