Explores the colorful history of piracy and smuggling, including the Golden Age of buccaneers, Prohibition-era rumrunners, and endangered wildlife kidnapping. Pirates and Smugglers is a swashbuckling introduction to the highwaymen and women of the seas-from the cruel Cilician pirates who terrorized the Mediterranean more than 2,000 years ago to the well-organized and ruthless modern-day buccaneers who target supertankers on the South China Sea-and the loot they plunder and smuggle.
