Rediker, Marcus,
Outlaws of the Atlantic : sailors, pirates and motley crews in the age of sail / Marcus Rediker. - xii, 241 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
In Outlaws of the Atlantic, award-winning historian Marcus Rediker turns maritime history upside down. He explores the dramatic world of maritime adventure, not from the perspective of admirals, merchants, and nation-states but from the viewpoint of commoners—sailors, slaves, indentured servants, pirates, and other outlaws from the late seventeenth to the early nineteenth century. Bringing together their seafaring experiences for the first time, Outlaws of the Atlantic is an unexpected and compelling peoples’ history of the “age of sail.”
