The stirring story of the seventeenth-century pirates of the Mediterranean-the forerunners of today’s bandits of the seas-and how their conquests shaped the clash between Christianity and Islam. It’s easy to think of piracy as a romantic way of life long gone-if not for today’s frightening headlines of robbery and kidnapping on the high seas.
