Why does such an aura of romance surround the pirate captains who once terrorised the Caribbean seas? In this fascinating and thoroughly researched account, Warren Alleyne disentangles fact from fiction, cruel reality from popular mythology. He relates true stories of the leading pirates - ruthless villains rather than colourful adventurers - who operated in the area often referred to as The Spanish Main. In doing so he shows how the popular legend has arisen.
