About ebook: Why We Love Pirates: The Hunt for Captain Kidd and How He Changed Piracy Forever

A historian presents "an excellent guide to how pirates became the outlaw celebrities of the high seas" (Greg Jenner, host of the You're Dead to Me podcast).

During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd's name was well known in England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. In this book, historian Rebecca Simon dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, followed by a massive British-led hunt for all pirates during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only increased the popularity of pirates. And, because the American colonies relied on pirates for smuggled goods such as spices, wines, and silks, pirates tended to be protected from capture.

This is the story of how pirates became popularly viewed as "Robin Hoods of the Sea"-and how these historical events were pivotal in creating the portrayal of pirates as we know them today.

"Only someone who has lived in the shadows chasing faded pirates for an age, and is blessed with creativity, can pull off a book of this high caliber." - Wreck Watch Magazine
