While this is a work of scholarship with an extensive list of references and a twenty-three-page bibliography, it is very readable and is strongly recommended to members of the Naval Review."— Naval Review"A fascinating glimpse into life aboard ship during the golden age of piracy."— Adrian Tinniswood, author of "Pirates Of Barbary""A comprehensive and highly engaging study of the operations and everyday life at sea on pirate ships in the 'Golden Age' of piracy. Using a wide range of archival material, Simon has produced a meticulous examination of how pirate crews used 'articles' to organize their ships and lives. An in-depth exploration of not only the most notorious pirates and their lesser-known brethren, but every aspect of pirate life from the motivations of men to turn to piracy, to how they shared out plunder and food, to discipline and health care for injured pirates. The Pirates' Code is a pleasure to read."— Elaine Murphy, associate professor of maritime history, University of Plymouth"Real history, so much more exciting than any pirate legend."— Dan Snow jQuery(function() { jQuery( "#tabs" ).tabs(); });
