Has Anyone Else Read This Book?

I went up to the local Waldenbooks Store to purchase a book I saw there a couple of weeks ago but didn't have the spare cash for. Somebody else beat me to it so I picked up this rather interesting looking book instead:

The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard. It's a 2007 book and tells of the Caribbean Pirates, their "golden age" and how they were brought down. Has anyone read this one yet?

The book that I really wanted was Caesar: The Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy. This one is about the life of Gaius Julius Caesar. I'll just order it online.

The Pirates one sounds so cool! Thanks for the tip!

I haven't read either, though

You're welcome.

I'm about twenty pages into the book and it's already looking to be a very good read.

That does sound interesting. I will see if they have it here.

those, no. But i think i will have to think about it.
i did read this one, several months ago . http://www.amazon.com/Under-Black-Fl.../dp/0156005492

Bruce, that book was also at the store. How was it?

liked it was It was informative and entertaining.
i have not picked up a book on piracy since i was a kid, It does not go into a great depth on some subects. So for me it was good. Someone what already had a ton of imforation would find it light reading i would think

It sounds good, I may pick it up.

The Republic of Pirates is a turning out to be a very good book. For a history book it flows very well and isn't "dry". I'm really enjoying it.
