      The narrative centers on Alexandre Exquemelin, a former indentured servant turned surgeon who chronicled his experiences with pirates, particularly under the notorious Henry Morgan during the 1671 Panama raid. His work, "The Buccaneers of America," published in 1678, offers a sensationalized portrayal of 17th-century piracy, filled with accounts of brutality and crime. Despite its inaccuracies, the book became a significant historical source about pirates, leading to legal disputes over its content. This edition is presented on premium acid-free paper.
