"I got a lot of information about pirates and especially about Libertalia, the Pirate Republic in Madagascar. That again gave me the idea to write my the book "Die Piraten von Libertalia" which was published in Germany in February 2009 by Bloomsbury."
"*Recent scholarship has confirmed that this text, in its entirety, is not by Defoe. That does not (or does, depending or your view of Defoe!) make it any less interesting or entertaining to read."
"Easily the single most important work on pirates ever put to paper. Written by Daniel Defoe, under the pen name Captain Charles Johnson, this work examines pirates, their social order and their activities in exhaustive detail. This is the work most often referred to in modern piractial history books. Many current books are simply a re-hash of the information Defoe presented fully and interestingly in this work from 1724. Must be read by all who desire a full knowledge of piratical history."
