Summary
Of all the colorful cutthroats who scoured the seas in search of plunder during the Golden Age of Piracy in the early 18th century, none was more ferocious or notorious than Blackbeard. As unforgettable as his savage career was, much of Blackbeard's life has been shrouded in mystery - until now.
Drawing on vivid descriptions of Blackbeard's attacks from his rare surviving victims, pirate expert Angus Konstam traces Blackbeard's career from its beginnings to his final defeat in a tremendous sea battle near his base at Ocracoke Island.
Presenting dramatic accounts of the pirate's very effective tactics and his reputation for cruelty, Konstam offers a fascinating examination of the life and business of piracy and the lure of this brutal and bloody trade.

interesting
The first chapter seemed a little shaky, being quite informal and with an off-key tone. But I'm glad I stuck with it as the rest of the book is interesting and has a different style to the introduction. An interesting dive into Blackbeard as a man (as much as can be known of him) and his legacy as the most notorious pirate of that era.
