An entrancing tale of piracy colored with gold, treachery and double-dealing (Portland Press Herald), Pulitzer Prize-finalist Colin Woodward's The Republic of Pirates is the historical biography of the exploits of infamous Caribbean buccaneers.
In the early eighteenth century, the Pirate Republic was home to some of the great pirate captains, including Edward "Blackbeard" Teach, "Black Sam" Bellamy, and Charles Vane. Along with their fellow pirates — former sailors, indentured servants, and runaway slaves — this "Flying Gang" established a crude but distinctive democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which servants were free, blacks could be equal citizens, and leaders were chosen or deposed by a vote.
They cut off trade routes, sacked slave ships, and severed Europe from its New World empires. For a brief, glorious period the Republic was a success as the pirates became heroes in the eyes of the people.
Drawing on extensive research in the archives of Britain and the Americas, award-winning author Colin Woodard tells the dramatic untold story of the Pirate Republic that shook the very foundations of the British and Spanish Empires and fanned the democratic sentiments that would one day drive the American revolution.

刷新了对“海盗”的认识
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
说到海盗,可能很多人脑海里都是好莱坞电影里构建的那种穿的花里胡哨的、要么缺一只眼要么少一条腿的形象,虽然是“盗”,但干的事往往还挺侠义。 而这本关于海盗的书,通过历史资料,对海盗这一群体建构起了更为客观的形象——不能单单用“好”“坏”来评价。 看的时候,我有... (展开)海盗为什么都在加勒比

作者有国际新闻记者背景,真的尽力了,不仅考察了很多一手新闻通讯资料,而且亲自走访很多事件发生地,能将那个年代的所有有名的海盗拼凑在一起,真的觉得挺厉害的。

阅读的初衷源于迪士尼的电影和主题乐园。原来海盗也因人而异,各有各的处事原则和人生轨迹,不如电影奇幻,更加残酷。
