The Republic of Pirates pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward "Blackbeard" Teach and "Black Sam" Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous "Flying Gang" was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations in the Old and New Worlds. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote. They were ultimately overcome by their archnemesis, Captain Woodes Rogersa merchant fleet owner and former privateerand the brief though glorious moment of the Republic of Pirates came to an end. In this unique and fascinating book, Colin Woodard brings to life this virtually unexplored chapter in the Golden Age of Piracy.

如果你奔着解闷来看这个书的话,劝退指数还是挺高的。需要丰富且连贯的欧洲历史知识才能读的快,读的明白。 不过就里面海盗大佬们的单个故事还是精彩的,不输影视作品。 历史部分讲的有点干瘪,几个重要海盗人物的关系网没有重点提取,就很社科。 如果能给各个船长的船配个线稿...
