The Republic Of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down by Colin Woodard, Colin Woodard

2.0

Did not love this. Too much seemed speculative--it gave the impression that Woodard didn't have enough to write about and had to add in filler to have a full book. This wasn't normal inferences drawn from historical documents, though, it was more of the details added in for the sake of storytelling value; "the air may have burned his nostrils as he stepped out" and other comments like that were unnecessary.
