Produktbeschreibung

Between the late 1600s and early 1700s, the world's oceans erupted into a chaotic arena of rebellion, violence, and astonishing opportunity. Empire of Rogues delivers a penetrating, expert-level examination of the Golden Age of Piracy-a brief but explosive era that forever reshaped maritime law, global trade, and naval warfare. Designed for professionals, historians, and serious enthusiasts, this book dismantles popular myths to reveal the strategic, economic, and political forces that produced figures such as Blackbeard, Charles Vane, and Anne Bonny. Explore how privateering collapsed, how pirate havens formed intricate shadow economies, and how naval powers responded with evolving tactics and legal innovations. Drawing from archival records, court transcripts, ship logs, and recent scholarship, the narrative reconstructs the true operational methods of pirate crews-their governance structures, weaponry, navigation, and brutal codes of discipline. This informative and authoritative account reveals not only how pirates disrupted empires but how their actions accelerated reforms in global maritime systems. Step into a world where rebellion met opportunity, and learn why this turbulent age still influences maritime security today.
