4.0 out of 5 stars Avast me hearties, 9 Nov 2000
By Thomas A. Cushman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor Among Thieves: Captain Kidd, Henry Every and the Pirate Republic of Libertalia (Hardcover)
A great subject and not much covered except by Daniel Defoe 250 years ago. Good bios of the major characters. Very good explanations of the period, the hows and whys of piracy. Since piracy by its very nature is a secretive profession there isnt much in print either contemporary or historical. The author certainly has done his research, the notes and bibliography section of this book runs over 60 pages. The Madagascar pirates must have been the most successful thieves in history and the author is able to convey to us today just how much booty they managed to steal, billions in todays values. And many of them got away with it. The book is facinating yet doesnt read like a novel nor is it only a dry scholarly tome. Where able the author conveys both motivations and personalities of his characters. A very good read esp, if one is interested in the development of Madagascar.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super detailed view of pirate life in general and Kidd in particular, 4 Sep 2006
By L. A. Sosnowski - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Honor Among Thieves: Captain Kidd, Henry Every and the Pirate Republic of Libertalia (Hardcover)
Great detailed book about pirates and privateers and how they lived. Written by a true historian with careful attention and loving zest for the pirate life. Want to know what careening really meant? And why they had to do this to protect their ships? Find out here. Want to know about trade winds in the Indian Ocean? Find out here. Comes with a nice index at the back for future reference. A must have for your pirate library.
