- Captain Kidd and the War against the Pirates
- It is disconcerting to think of dashing scoundrels as slaves to economic forces, but so they were--as Ritchie demonstrates in this lively history of piracy. He focuses on the shadowy figure of William Kidd, whose career in the late seventeenth century swept him from the Caribbean to New York, to London, to the Indian Ocean before he ended in Newgate prison and on the gallows.
