Blackbeard was the most fearsome pirate of his day-a man who terrorized the Caribbean and the Spanish Main, who dared to blockade Charleston, South Carolina, and who became, as a result, the most famous pirate of all.
Drawing on the latest historical and archaeological findings-including the discovery of Blackbeard's flagship-Angus Konstam has produced the definitive biography of Blackbeard, from his pirate apprenticeship in the Caribbean to his gory death in a sea battle fought off North Carolina's Outer Banks.
For anyone who enjoyed 'Under the Black Flag' or 'The Pirate Hunter', this book will definitely be required reading.
