Come and discuss this fascinating history of the real-life pirates of the Caribbean.
Awash with bloody battles, political intrigues, natural disaster and a cast of characters more compelling, bizarre and memorable than any found in a Hollywood swashbuckler — including the notorious pirate L’Ollonais, the soul-tortured King Philip IV of Spain, and Thomas Modyford, the crafty English governor of Jamaica — Empire of Blue Water brilliantly recreates the passions and the violence of the age of exploration and empire.
