Description: Prepare to enter the wicked world of pirates...Here is the stuff of legend, where tales of adventure and intrigue are written in blood.

Read of daring raids on sea and land, and discover the reality of pirate life on board a ship - from their strict codes of conduct to the terrible punishments that awaited those who broke them...
