 This is the book that inspired 'Crossbones' the new NBC television series written and produced by Neil 'Luther' Cross and starring John Malkovich. In the early eighteenth century a number of the great pirate captains, including Edward Blackbeard Teach and Black Sam Bellamy, joined forces. This infamous Flying Gang was more than simply a thieving band of brothers. Many of its members had come to piracy as a revolt against conditions in the merchant fleet and in the cities and plantations in the Old and New Worlds. Inspired by notions of self-government, they established a crude but distinctive form of democracy in the Bahamas, carving out their own zone of freedom in which indentured servants were released and leaders chosen or deposed by a vote. They were ultimately overcome by their archnemesis, Captain Woodes Rogers — a merchant fleet owner and former privateer — and the brief though glorious moment of the Republic of Pirates came to an end. In this unique and fascinating book, Colin Woodard brings to life this virtually unexplored chapter in the Golden Age of Piracy.
