This book explores piracy through the lens of Captain Kidd’s pirate life, but he is only the outer shell. His life opens up the deeper history of pirates and how society truly reacted to them. From here, we will discover exactly who pirates were and why people chose this profession. We will uncover the true story of Captain Kidd, and of how and why the British government sought to exterminate pirates at all costs.
