||5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.| Separating the myth and romance from the reality|By doc peterson|As a fan of nautical fiction (Master and Commander (Vol. Book 1) (Aubrey/Maturin Novels)), and having read Cordingly's Women Sailors and Sailors' Women, _Under the Black Flag_ was a natural choice for a summer read. Cordingly does a magnificent job of providing details of pirate life: who these men (and women) w|.com |Though literature, films, and folklore have romanticized pirates as gallant seaman who hunted for treasure in exotic locales, David Cordingly, a former curator at the National Maritime Museum in England, reveals the facts behind the legends of such outlaw

For this rousing, revisionist history, the former head of exhibitions at England's National Maritime Museum has combed original documents and records to produce a most authoritative and definitive account of piracy's "Golden Age." As he explodes many accepted myths (i.e. "walking the plank" is pure fiction), Cordingly replaces them with a truth that is more complex and often bloodier. 16 pp. of photos. Maps.
