Story4.5 out of 5 stars 973
He challenged the greatest empire on earth with a ragtag bunch of renegades and brought it to its knees. This is the real story of the pirates of the Caribbean. Henry Morgan, a 20-year-old Welshman, crossed the Atlantic in 1655, hell-bent on making his fortune. Over the next three decades, his exploits in the Caribbean became legendary. His daring attacks on the mighty Spanish empire on land and at sea determined the fates of kings and queens, and his victories helped shape the destiny of the New World.

Vignettes that take you all over the world and back into time, this book delivers what I wanted - an escape from the here and now, something to think about, something new to learn and understand. But - in an efficient way that doesn't involve a lot of tangents and wasting my time. So many books are full of fluff, this one just keeps delivering.
