Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Edward Teach-better known as Blackbeard-has become an icon of maritime terror, his very name a symbol of lawless seas and ruthless violence. Yet behind the myth of the monstrous pirate lies a more complicated story. Blackbeard's brief but explosive… career unfolded at the intersection of war, empire, and commerce, when privateers turned into outlaws and colonial powers blurred the line between piracy and policy.This book reconstructs the real Blackbeard from naval records, trial transcripts, and eyewitness accounts, revealing a man shaped as much by imperial politics as by greed. It explores how the collapse of Britain's wartime privateering system after the War of Spanish Succession bred a generation of sea rogues-former sailors abandoned by empire who struck back at the system that made them.Far from a mere criminal, Blackbeard emerges as a product of his time: a skilled tactician, a brutal negotiator, and a political actor who challenged the control of the British Navy in the Caribbean and the American coast. Through his rise and fall, the narrative exposes how piracy became both rebellion and reflection-a mirror of the violence within empire itself.
