"This is the most authoritative and highly literate account of these pernicious people that I have ever read."--Patrick O'Brian

" A] wonderfully entertaining history of pirates and piracy . . . a rip-roaring read . . . fascinating and unexpected."--Men's Journal

This rollicking account of the golden age of piracy is packed with vivid history and high seas adventure. David Cordingly, an acclaimed expert on pirates, reveals the spellbinding truth behind the legends of Blackbeard, Captain Kidd, Sir Francis Drake, the fierce female brigands Mary Read and Anne Bonny, and others who rode and robbed upon the world's most dangerous waters. Here, in thrilling detail, are the weapons they used, the ships they sailed, and the ways they fought--and were defeated. Under the Black Flag also charts the paths of fictional pirates such as Captain Hook and Long John Silver. The definitive resource on the subject, this book is as captivating as it is supremely entertaining.

Great Bang for Buck! SIZE DOWN!
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
The Quality of these shoes are great! They feel good, are a deep brown color, the stitching is good, all in all great shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in making them a versatile choice for any occasion. My only issue was sizing. As everybody says these shoes run big, I am usually a 10.5/11. I went with the 11s and they are slipping off my heels. Size Down!

Overall very good
Size: 9, Color: Black Faux Leather
I liked these loafers very much. The sizing was true, and on point. Fit was comfortable, and the sole’s height wasn’t too exaggerated. Overall very satisfied given the price, however I do wish they looked a bit more luxe,

Size down
Size: 7, Color: Brown Faux Suede
These are my absolute favorite loafer! I wore them to my company Christmas party and got so many compliments! They run big though. I wear a mens size 8.5 (usually 8 in dress shoes) but was able to get these in a mens 7 and they fit perfectly!
