Under the Black Flag: The Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates is a great book. It had been quite a while since I read a book with that kind of detail. It also was interesting to learn about how pirates were able to make so much money in their day. They took what others valued, which was gold or silver treasure, found it and sold it for more than they could possibly have imagined. Despite all this, piracy wasn't all rosy for them either because they did get killed or captured by other pirates.
