Description

'Morgan the Pirate' is a name long associated with all the trapping of pirate living - skull and crossbones, pieces of eight, speeding ships, almost in fact 'with a yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum'. As legend has it, his was a life of high adventure, dastardly battles and more than a few gold coins thrown in, collected by underhand means of course. Yet if this legend is true, why did Charles II knight him at the height of his career and why was he given the exalted position of Governor of Jamaica? In this authoritative biography, Dudley Pope lays to rest the popularised image and resurrects the man behind the myth.
