Read Now Download Now ⏭ listen AudioBook
Description: This book will debunk more than a dozen pirate myths—from the flying of the Jolly Roger to the burying of treasure to walking the plank to the staging of epic sea battles—and show that the truth about pirates is more fascinating and disturbing than the myths. For example, pirates rarely had their captives walk the plank; instead captives were often subject to horrendous torture, such as being hung by their genitals, burned by slow matches, or hung by their arms tied behind their backs and then dropped, causing their shoulders to pop from their sockets. Also, epic sea battles involving pirates were fairly rare: most prey surrendered immediately. What's fascinating is that the tactics of the buccaneers and filibusters inspired navies to engage in similar plundering warfare and that pirate tactics of shore attacks influenced those of navies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
