By Miserie, Denver, CO

"This book will challenge everything you've learned about pirates from the movies. Real pirates were more brutal, less well-dressed, and drunker than in any movie. They were also utterly profligate, which attributed to their demise as much as the iron fist of any government.

One of the most enlightening aspects of 'Blue Water' has to be the analysis of shocking level of ineptitude with which Spain administered her colonies. Without the (non)contribution of the Spanish, the pirates would have had a much harder time of achieving the successes that they did in the Caribbean.

Satisfying read for this history buff."

"listened to the book on tape on a long car ride. i learned the history of captain morgan, which was mostly interesting, and some great tidbits, like that buccaneers partnered for life in (probably) sexual relationships with other buccaneers. ... awesome."

By Zach, The United States

"Really interesting history. Not just a book on piracy, the author effectively lays out the Spanish colonial system and how it given Spain tremendous power but also how it encouraged piracy and often state-sponsored privateering and how the structure of the colonies (the focus not on development/settlement of the New World, but purely on extracting as much gold/silver) made the Spanish empire vulnerable.

The author also effectively describes how Jamaica, and specifically Port Royal were critical to England's efforts to obtain a foothold in the new world and the impact of what later became of the city.

Also it is intersting to note that Morgan probably died from the results of raging alcholisim, I wonder why that does not come up in the rum companies commercials!"

"I'm having fun following the real Captain Morgan and his pirate crew on their excursions around the Caribbean back in the mid-1600's. So far they've mostly terrorized the Spanish on open water, on various islands, and at multiple locations on the "Spanish Main" (central and south america)."
