Please enter your name here. In this book, pirates are not the protagonists, they are an obsession. Treasure, Obsession, and the Search for a Legendary Pirate Ship is a true story about treasure hunters, famous scuba divers, and it is just as exciting if not more as any pirate tale. This is a real-life Treasure Island: It tells the story of the quest for the rare shell of a pirate ship, which had been commanded by one of the most significant pirates in history.

John Chatterton and John Mattera are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. Angus Konstam takes us through a general history of piracy on the seas, from the ancient raiders of Babylonia and Greece to the modern-day guerillas in speedboats armed with AK assault rifles in the south China Sea. While particularly focused to the Golden Age, he reminds us that piracy on the high seas existed long before names like Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, and Bartholomew Roberts struck terror into the hearts of sailors and merchants - Julius Caesar was captured by pirates - and it remains a major problem in the modern world.

Each chapter is well illustrated with period paintings and photographs. Exquemelin was himself a buccaneer and claimed to have collected these tales of piracy on the high seas as an eyewitness.

It has been said that perhaps no book of the 17th century in any language was ever the parent of so many imitations and the source of so much fiction. This book shows how the modern economic concept of mutual self-interest motivated pirates to form cooperative and democratic societies that preceded the origins of modern-day democracy.

Pirates understood the advantages of constitutional democracy—a model they adopted more than fifty years before the United States did so.
