Hardcover. Condition: As New. 1st Edition. As new hardback with dust jacket. UIn the early part of the seventeenth century, along the southwest coast of Ireland, piracy was a way of life. Following the outlawing of privateering in 1603 by the new King of England, disenfranchised like-minded men of the sea, many former privateers, naval sailors, ordinary seamen and traditional plunderers moved their base of operations to Ireland and formed an alliance. The Alliance of Pirates examines the nature and extent of this predation and looks at its impact and influence in Ireland and across the Atlantic. Scarce Collector’s Item.
