Buccaneers of the Caribbean #994998

Buccaneers of the Caribbean traces the rise and fall of the daring raiders who challenged Spanish power across the seventeenth-century Caribbean. From the hunters of Hispaniola and the lawless refuge of Tortuga to the legendary campaigns of François l'Olonnais and Sir Henry Morgan, this volume explores the men, ports, battles, and imperial rivalries that shaped the buccaneer age. Featuring the sack of Portobelo, the raid on Maracaibo, and the capture of Panama, it reveals how a loose brotherhood of hunters and adventurers became a force capable of threatening one of the world's greatest empires.
