Famed for his enduring fictional masterpieces Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe also possessed considerable expertise in maritime affairs. As a commission merchant, importer, shipowner, and an active journalist who reported “ship news” and interviewed surviving pirates, Defoe achieved a high degree of authority on the subject of buccaneers. His knowledge was such that his book, A General History of the Pyrates, published in 1724 under the pseudonym Captain Charles Johnson, remains the major source of information about piracy in the first quarter of the 18th century.
This fascinating history abounds in tales of flamboyant outlaws and their bloody deeds: Captain Edward Teach, alias Blackbeard; Captain William Kidd, whose trial and execution created a sensation throughout London and the world; Bartholomew Roberts, one of the most successful pirates of the era, whose crews captured an estimated 400 prizes in three years; Mary Read and Anne Bonny, who disguised themselves as men to sail under the Jolly Roger with the ill-fated Captain John Rackham; and many more.
An engrossing blend of fact and fiction – incorporating Defoe’s celebrated flair for journalistic detail – these lively tales of seafaring rogues and rascals and their ill-gotten gains will captivate armchair sailors, maritime enthusiasts and any lover of adventure on the high seas.

Technically it’s never been proved that Defoe wrote this book. It was only a strong rumour. Can’t wait to listen to it!

Thanks for this anansisan. I especially like the bonus pdf copy of an early edition (first?) of the book from the Boston Public Library. Some months ago I downloaded from Internet Archive a BPL copy of a 2 volume historical work that had belonged to John Adams, with his signature on each flyleaf.

This work is heavily referenced in the video game “Uncharted 4,” where the characters seek the treasure of the real-life Capt. Avery.
