Finished reading Buccaneers 1620-1700 by Konstam and McBride. I suppose I should have read this before Pirates 1660-1730, but one can't always be chronological. Again, a good quick read with great illustrations by McBride. I can't help but laugh at how geopolitics really haven't changed all that much over the past 400 years.

Pirates 1660-1730
Finished reading Pirates 1660-1730 by Konstam and McBride. Good, quick read typical of the Osprey books. McBride's illustrations are wonderful. I just wish there were more of them. Capt. Grimstock lent me the book so as to set myself firmly in the piratical world.
