Synopsis
‘The Laws of all Nations … define & declare a Pirate to be an Enemy of Mankind … He is perhaps the only Criminal on Earth, whose crime cannot be absolutely pardoned … a Pirate is equally an Enemy and dangerous to all Societies … Piracy is in its self a complication of Treason, Oppression, Murder, Assassination, Robbery and Theft.’
You know what a pirate is. You know how they dress, how they speak. If you think of the word ‘pirate’, you most probably think of black flags and peg legs, cutlasses and cannon, walking the plank and buried treasure. These stereotypes are familiar and entertaining, but they aren’t the whole truth.
Or, perhaps, they were never true at all.
From their origins and identities to their everyday lives and exploits, Enemies of All is a voyage of discovery that investigates piracy’s incredible, and often unrecognised, impact on history. Socially, economically and politically, pirates moulded European empires as they rose to global power in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. They shaped our modern world and left behind troubling legacies.
You will never see pirates in the same way again.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Everyone knows about pirates: or do they? The Hollywood stereotype black flags and peg-legs, cutlasses and cannons, exotic yet sinister pets, buried treasure is familiar and entrancing, but there is so much more to be told. This new book takes the reader on an international voyage of discovery, investigating who these pirates were, describing their exploits and everyday lives, examining the origins of the many myths about them, and explaining their incredible, but often unrecognised, impact on history. Socially, economically, and politically, pirates and piracy moulded European empires as they rose to global power in the 17th and 18th centuries. Their actions, and ideas about them, shaped our modern world and left troubling legacies. You will never see pirates in the same way again. AUTHOR: Richard Blakemore has studied pirates for over a decade, from his Cambridge Ph.D to his role as Associate Professor in Social and Maritime History at the University of Reading, where he teaches the most popular module, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Empire, Slavery, and Society, 1550-1750'. He has been a consultant for the National Maritime Museum; appeared on local and national BBC radio; on Channel 5's Great British Ships; produced two series of podcasts; and written for blogs and magazines such as History Today. 16 colour, 20 b/w illustrations Shining a light on who pirates really were, and how the well-known skull and crossbones Hollywood stereotype evolved Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
