66 reviewsVillains of All Nations explores the 'Golden Age' of Atlantic piracy (1716-1726) & the infamous generation whose images underlie our modern, romanticized view of pirates.
Rediker introduces us to the dreaded black flag, the Jolly Roger; swashbuckling figures such as Edward Teach, better known as Blackbeard; & the unnamed, unlimbed pirate who was likely Robert Louis Stevenson's model for Long John Silver in Treasure Island.
This history shows from the bottom up how sailors emerged from deadly working conditions on merchant & naval ships, turned pirate, & created a starkly different reality aboard their own ships, electing their officers, dividing their booty equitably, & maintaining a multinational social order. The real lives of this motley crew-which included cross-dressing women, people of color, & the 'outcasts of all nations' - are far more compelling than contemporary myth.
