Synopsis

In "The Pirates of the West Indies," Clarence Henry Haring delivers a captivating exploration of the notorious buccaneers who roamed the Caribbean during the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Through meticulous historical research and engaging narrative, Haring combines vivid storytelling with an analytical approach, examining the socio-political factors that fostered piracy in this vibrant maritime world. His literary style blends scholarly rigor with an accessible tone, making the complexities of piracy both enlightening and entertaining. This work situates itself within a rich tradition of maritime history, inviting readers to reassess preconceived notions of piracy as mere acts of villainy, instead showcasing the multifaceted human experiences behind these infamous figures. Clarence Henry Haring, a prominent historian and authority in colonial Latin American studies, draws from his extensive academic background to illuminate the intricacies of Caribbean piracy. His research reflects a deep interest in the socio-economic and cultural dynamics of the period, rooted in a comprehensive understanding of maritime laws, colonialism, and trade networks. Haring's commitment to historical accuracy and narrative depth stems from his desire to bring untold stories of this dynamic era to life, reflecting his broader scholarly pursuits in reconstructing the past. This book is a must-read for history enthusiasts, students, and anyone intrigued by the tales of adventure and lawlessness that defined the Caribbean. Haring's compelling narrative not only uncovers the historical realities behind the legends but also invites readers to reflect on wider themes of freedom, authority, and rebellion. "The Pirates of the West Indies" offers an invaluable perspective on a turbulent yet fascinating chapter in maritime history, making it an essential addition to any historical library.

    For millions of kids, high school is a tumultuous time, with social highs and lows, academic pressure, and extracurricular wins and losses, but for the Little Rock Nine, the first African American students to attend a previously segregated high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, those years were nightmarish.  
    Getting into Central High School was an obstacle witnessed by the entire nation, but that was only the beginning of their ordeal, because once they were permitted to step through the doors, their true battle began, pitting them against bullies, tormentors, and narrow-minded ignorance. While many teenagers’ main concern is finding a date for prom, theirs was surviving until lunch, and when some students were worrying about making the volleyball team, they were worried about making it home alive each day. The Little Rock Nine and their families and neighbors could not trust the local government to serve them, the school system to treat them fairly, or the police to protect them. As Melba Patillo Beals, one of the Little Rock Times, noted, “All my life I had felt unprotected by city officials…Whites had control of the police, the firemen, and the ambulances. They could decide who got help and who didn’t. Even if the Ku Klux Klan ravaged one of our homes, we wouldn’t call the police for help.” 
    Meredith is still remembered for the almost surreal scenes that came with his admission to the school, but those historic moments required a prolonged fight. After a drawn out lawsuit that involved the State of Mississippi appealing the lower court’s decision, he was finally set to attend the university in September 1962, only to be repeatedly prevented by a mob, which included Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett. Governor Barnett had earlier attempted to stop Meredith’s admission by changing state laws to ban anyone who had been convicted of a state crime; Meredith’s “crime” had been false voter registration.

    Septimius Severus was Rome's black emperor. Born in the blistering heat of a North African spring in Leptis Magna AD 145, he died in the freezing cold of a northern British winter in York in AD 211. A giant of an emperor, whose career can be counted in superlatives, Severus was in power at the height of Rome's might. He led the largest army to ever campaign in Britain, comprising 50,000 men, part of a Roman military establishment which peaked at 33 legions under his rule.
    
    
    
    Born into the richest family, in the richest part of the Roman Empire, Severus monumentalised his rule across the empire. He visited - and often fought in - every region. Where he did, he left a mighty legacy in the built environment, for example in Rome where much of the Forum Romanum and most of the imperial palaces are Severan. In North Africa, his hometown of Leptis Magna is all Severan, as are the Roman cities at the Atlas mountains. In London, the land walls that still define the City's Square Mile were delineated under his rule. Visitors to the under croft at York Minster can stand where he died.
    
    
    Septimius Severus was one of the greatest warrior emperors, a hard man who almost died in battle several times and whose attitude is reflected in his deathbed advice to two sons: 'Be of one mind with your family, enrich the soldiers, and despise the rest.'
