Elementary summary of Atlantic pirate activity from about 1700 to 1830.
Very rapid read put together in an elementary style and structure. There's nothing particularly wrong with the book other than the fact that it lacks rigor. I feel a bit like I'm reading from a middle-school text book.Like I said, facts seem sound, though research is not specifically cited. Analysis and general development of a thesis is lacking.

Interesting
Pirates were trained sailors and skilled seamen who found themselves out of work and struggling to make ends meet. When I noticed the title of the book "Pirates" .. I wondered what on Earth would be in a book talking about thieves, but I was curious enough to buy the book. The author really described everything related to those people. Who were they? Where did they come from? He made the topic very interesting. Many thanks to the author.

Great read
Great read on history's most famous pirate captains, as well as Anne Bonny and Mary Read. Not much mention of lesser known pirate captains. Also, much easier to read Johnsons book written in old English.

Low tide, high sea's, midshipman.
Middle of the road best way to describe this. A good one for history teachers . the summarys weren,t really needed they were just superflous.and made for more of an distracting and confusing browse.
