Summary:	"Discover the "fascinating and outrageously readable" account of the roguish acts of the first pirates to raid the Pacific in a crusade that ended in a sensational trial back in England."--Amazon. 1680, in the heart of the Golden Age of Piracy. More than three hundred hardened pirates gather on a remote Caribbean island with a plan to wreck havoc on the Pacific coastline. The booty: Spanish gold and the chance to become legends. The buccaneers, primarily Englishmen, plunder the Spanish Main, often prevailing against staggering odds and superior firepower. Thomson guides readers through the pirates' legendary two year odyssey to offers a rollicking account of one of the most astonishing pirate expeditions of all times. -- adapted from jacket
