Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. b/w Photographs & Illustrations, Maps. (illustrator). First Edition. Dust jacket complete, unclipped, in a clear protective sleeve.Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Slight bump. Illustrated end papers. No ownership inscription. 256 pages clean and tight. Surrounded by a powerful aura of glamor and excitement, the pirate inhabited a wide, wild, lawless world of fierce independence. Here might was right, chivalry was not dead, and fame and riches awaited anyone courageous enough to grasp them. And as this world grew smaller and more civilized he faded away, leaving only rumors of buried treasure and legends of swashbuckling adventure to thrill the minds of a later age. The legends we know: Robert Louis Stevenson and Errol Flynn alone would have ensured their survival. The realities have been less accessible. But in this new book Edward Lucie-Smith has turned a perceptive eye upon the pirate in his totality: as he was, as he has been seen by others, and as he saw himself. In a survey of piracy ranging from the marauding exploits of ancient Greeks in the Mediterranean to the "vachtjacking" phenomenon in the 1970S the author tells the whole story. It turns out to be more exciting than the legends suggest, though more squalid, treacherous and dangerous too. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 125618

Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. OUTCASTS OF THE SEA Pirates and Piracy. Edward Lucie Smith. Paddington press, London 1978 First Edition ISBN 0448226170 256pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition in a very good price clipped dustwrapper. Piracy is typically an act of robbery or criminal violence at sea. The term can include acts committed on land, in the air, or in other major bodies of water or on a shore. It does not normally include crimes committed against persons traveling on the same vessel as the perpetrator (e.g. one passenger stealing from others on the same vessel). The term has been used throughout history to refer to raids across land borders by non-state agents. Piracy is the name of a specific crime under customary international law and also the name of a number of crimes under the municipal law of a number of States. It is distinguished from privateering, which is authorized by national authorities and therefore a legitimate form of war-like activity by non-state actors. Privateering is considered commerce raiding, and was outlawed by the Peace of Westphalia (1648) for signatories to those treaties. Those who engage in acts of piracy are called pirates. Historically, offenders have usually been apprehended by military personnel and tried by military tribunals. In the 21st century, the international community is facing many problems in bringing pirates to justice. Ref V6. Seller Inventory # 007993
