"This volume represents a sea change in educational resources for the history of piracy. In a single, readable, and affordable volume, Lane and Bialuschewski present a wonderfully diverse body of primary texts on sea raiders. Drawn from a variety of sources, including the authors'' own archival research and translations, these carefully curated texts cover over two hundred years (1548–1726) of global, early-modern piracy.

Lane and Bialuschewski provide glosses of each document and a succinct introduction to the historical context of the period and avoid the romanticized and Anglo-centric depictions of maritime predation that often plague work on the topic."
—Jesse Cromwell, The University of Mississippi
