Description

Explore the true history of maritime conflict with Piracy and the English Government, 1616-42 from the Studies in Naval History series. This Routledge publication challenges the common myth that England was a nation of pirates. Instead, it presents evidence that the English people were frequently the victims of maritime raids. This work examines the economic and social costs of piracy during this era. It provides a detailed look at the hundreds of English ships lost and the human toll of these attacks. The text reveals that approximately 8,000 men, women, and children were captured by pirates and sold into slavery in Barbary. By analyzing the government's response to these significant political problems, this book offers a deep look into the maritime history and naval challenges of the seventeenth century.
