America First! is a rarity among political books: first published in 1995, it remains more timely, relevant, and even urgent than ever.

With 16 pages of photographs and 4 maps.

The activities of these bands of plundering sea rovers reached a peak in the second half of the seventeenth century, when this remarkable eyewitness account was first published (1678).
