Sinopse

In "Privateers and Privateering," Edward Phillips Statham meticulously explores the intricate world of maritime commerce during the golden age of privateering, juxtaposing the legal and moral ambiguities associated with sanctioned piracy. Through a rich narrative style interwoven with historical documents and vivid descriptions, Statham discusses the tactics, motivations, and economic implications of privateering practices, capturing the complexities of naval warfare and global trade in the 17th and 18th centuries. The book's contextual depth situates privateering within the broader framework of colonial expansion and international relations, emphasizing its dual nature as both a patriotic endeavor and a perilous venture fraught with ethical dilemmas. Edward Phillips Statham, a distinguished maritime historian and writer, drew upon his extensive knowledge of naval history and law to delve into this often-overlooked facet of maritime operations. His scholarly pursuits were underpinned by a personal fascination with the sea and its impact on global economics, which led him to investigate the lives of the privateers and their role in shaping maritime law and economic structures during tumultuous times. "Privateers and Privateering" is an essential read for historians, maritime enthusiasts, and casual readers alike. Statham's engaging prose and thorough analysis invite readers to reevaluate their understanding of privateering, shedding light on its legacy and influence in modern international maritime law. For those intrigued by treasure, adventure, and the moral complexities of commerce, this book is a compelling addition to the literary canon.

    We all know about Washington's crossing of the Delaware and Betsy Ross's stitching together the Stars and Stripes, but how about a little-known, valid reason for the war itself and why General George was able to survive a plague that wiped out many of his fellow countrymen? 
     
     
     
    History buff Tim Rowland provides an entertaining look at happenings during and surrounding the Revolutionary War that you won't find in history books. He digs into the war's major events and reveals the unknown, bizarre, and often wildly amusing things the participants were doing while breaking away from Great Britain. 
     
     
     
    For example, conventional wisdom says that "no taxation without representation" was an important reason for the revolution, but not in the way we've been told. Strange but true, the spark that touched off the revolution was in fact a tax cut. 
     
     
     
    During the French and Indian War and then again in the first year of the revolution, the British were accused of biological warfare. So feared was the disease that soldiers began to illegally inoculate themselves. Washington himself was immune, thanks to a Caribbean trip taken as a young man when his brother Lawrence sought a cure for tuberculosis.
