Under the Black Flag

[Sam Flint]

Hey I'm going to be picking up a copy of Under the Black Flag for an upcoming trip I'm taking. This is my first real read on all things Pirate that is not 100% fiction. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions on what would be a good read once I'm done with this one.

Thanks

Matt

Anything by Rediker.

And A Pirate of Exquisite Mind : Explorer, Naturalist, and Buccaneer: The Life of William Dampier is pretty good.

[Sam Flint]

Thanks I'll look into those.

[blackjohn]

Doh! I should have asked, have you read any of the classics? Captain Johnson's General History of... the Pirates? Exquemelin's Buccaneers of America?

[Sam Flint]

No I have not. Not yet. But I'll add them to the list as well

Thanks

[blackjohn]

Move Captain Johnson to the top of the list. :)

Yes, followed immediately by Dampier's collected works. And DEFINITELY Rediker.

one of my favorites is The History of Pirates by Angus Konstam, it has great info, a forward by David Cordingly, and hundreds of color illustration. Makes a great coffee table book as well.

Not to Step on GoF's toes or anything, but you could always looks here, on his web site.
