A good overview of the history of pirates including those operating in the Indian Ocean. It also includes interesting facts about the authors who wrote some of the best known pirate stories ([author:Robert Louis Stevenson], [author:J.M. Barrie]) and how their portrayal of pirates helped secure the image of the swashbuckler that we identify with today.

I picked this up to read by the pool when we traveled to Panama with friends. Contains a *ton* of history and information. Unfortunately, I felt swamped by information. I couldn't remember who was who or when was when. I can't help but wonder if it could've been a better book if the focus was narrowed to the most famous pirates.

Had the paper copy for ever and never read it, it's a good refresher on the history of Pirates.
