Sinopse

"Pirate Code What" offers a fascinating exploration of the sophisticated governance systems that emerged during the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1730), revealing how these seafaring outlaws developed complex organizational structures that were surprisingly democratic and egalitarian.The book challenges common perceptions of pirates as mere criminals, instead presenting them as pioneers of workers' rights and democratic organization at sea. Through meticulous analysis of court records, ship logs, and surviving documents, the book examines three crucial aspects of pirate society: formal written articles, unwritten customs, and the evolution of these regulations over time.One of the most intriguing revelations is how pirate codes emerged as a direct response to the harsh conditions and arbitrary rule aboard merchant and naval vessels, establishing fair resource distribution and democratic decision-making processes that were centuries ahead of their time. The narrative progresses from the historical origins of pirate codes in buccaneer articles to specific examples from famous pirates like Bartholomew Roberts, before concluding with an analysis of their lasting influence on maritime law and organizational behavior.Written in an accessible yet scholarly style, the book connects these historical practices to modern concepts of workplace democracy and social equality, making it valuable for both academic researchers and general readers interested in maritime history. The comprehensive examination of primary sources and archaeological findings provides a well-rounded understanding of how these codes shaped both pirate society and subsequent maritime traditions.

    Few military organisations have had a greater importance than the Wagner Group: at a cursory glance no more than a disreputable private mercenary group dedicated to committing war crimes yet also, astonishingly, the challengers of the Kremlin on 23-24 June, 2023-unheard of in over two decades of Vladimir Putin's rule. From its inception in 2014 this nebulous organisation operating from Russia was intentionally cloaked in questions. How was it able to operate alongside Russia's top government officials? How could it deploy the logistical systems of the Russian army up to and including ordering air attacks with fighter planes of the Russian Federation, despite the deep antipathy of Russia's powerful defence minister Sergei Shoigu? Why did the Kremlin provide such an ample helping hand to its leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, for over a decade? In this compelling book, former Financial Times journalist Owen Wilson investigates the Wagner Group and their ties to Vladimir Putin. It skilfully sets out its history and the dramatic death of Yevgeny Prigozhin to cast a searching light on the person who ultimately stands behind the group.
