For those like myself whose interest in piracy has been awakened by this book (reading about it at least, before anyone worries I'm going to take to the sea!) Tinnisworth also provides an excellent list of sources and a comprehensive bibliography.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag. We're going to shelve it alongside [[Pirates: Truth and Tale by Helen Hollick]].
Further reading suggestion: Another really thrilling historical study is [[The Boy Who Would Be Shakespeare by Doug Stewart]], which ranks alongside this as one of my favourite non-fiction books in recent memory.
