The early eighteenth century was the so-called golden age of piracy, particularly in the Caribbean. Although much of the romantic musings about “pirate honor” is nonsense, an unusual group of pirates, led by Edward “Blackbeard” Teach and Sam Bellamy, actually set up a functioning government in the Bahamas with pretensions to establishing a form of social justice. Their “republic” attracted deserting sailors who could not tolerate harsh naval discipline, runaway slaves, and impoverished farmers. In this republic, called New Providence, a rough but democratic and egalitarian ethos apparently took hold. But, according to Woodard, the British government saw the existence of this independent entity as an intolerable threat. So, on the theory of sending a thief to catch a thief, they sent Woodes Rogers, a former privateer, to crush the republic. This breezy, fast-moving book is filled with exciting action and colorful characters. It will provide general readers and those with a special interest in the period much enjoyment.

The quality of the audio is good, but there is something wrong with the files. They often skip 30 - 120 seconds ahead at a time. In chapter 1, about 15 minutes is repeated. Disappointing, because the material is really interesting. Would recommend these files be replaced if you can.
There was also the final chapter of a completely different audiobook in the torrent…
