A Pirate’s Life

While America’s pirates can’t necessarily “compete with the magnetic charms and witty repartee of Captain Jack Sparrow,” among others, he believes their stories are “even more astonishing and fascinating than any fictional pirate adventure ever written or cast on the silver screen.” According to Dolin, he “evinced a particular hatred for New Englanders,” was furious at the imprisonment of fellow pirates and “felt a sense of comradeship” with the sea dogs who shared his profession (of sorts). Dolin has created an engaging and exciting book about this villainous profession that led many a young child to dream flights of fancy about a pirate’s life.
