"This nineteenth-century classic is the most detailed period document on privateering and the slave trade. The first half of the book concentrates on privateering, covering historically important eras such as the Seven Years' War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution. In the second half, the focus is on the slave trade and how privateers profited from it, including extensive chapters on specific captains, the abolition movement, and corporate ties to the slave trade."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
