Summary: Fantastic Illustrations
Comment: Angus Konstam creates a vivid picture of the true history, but the illustrations of Angus McBride steal the show. While the book is full of historic sketches, paintings, and cuttings it is the color plates which capture the look and feel of the "Golden Age of Pirates". The book itself does a marvelous job of debunking some of the "Hollywood Myths" about pirates, but is not quite as thorough as it could be. Konstam's "The History of Pirates" is much more comprehensive as it covers all genres and era of piracy. Overall a terrific buy for anyone interested in the real stories of pirates. The plates are very useful for costume and prop design as well.

Summary: AHOY!
Comment: This is a great book to anyone interested on this period and in piracy.Angus Konstam's text is both concise and accurate,while Angus McBride's illustrations are certainly some of the best I have ever seen.The book is mostly about British pirates which should be expected,since Osprey is from Great Britain,and British sailors were always inclined towards piratical activities.The sections on pirate warfare and pirate codes are particularly nice,and you get biographies on such pirates as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd as well.The only thing I miss is a color cut-away illustration of a pirate ship.Even though,I must say It's an A+ job from front to back cover.
