In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward "Blackbeard" Teach and "Black Sam" Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous "Flying Gang" was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations in the Old and New Worlds. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote. They were ultimately overcome by their archnemesis, Captain Woodes Rogersa merchant fleet owner and former privateerand the brief though glorious moment of the Republic of Pirates came to an end. In this unique and fascinating book, Colin Woodard brings to life this virtually unexplored chapter in the Golden Age of Piracy.

評分说起海盗,我们可能第一个想到的就是约翰尼·德普主演的《加勒比海盗》五部曲。说来惭愧,我连其中的一部都没有刷完。也许有人会喜欢里面奇幻曲折的冒险故事或者被约翰尼·德普的个人魅力迷得七荤八素。但是在我看来,就是几部成人童话,并且充斥着主角光环。但是在《海盗共和...
