"Pirates Old and New" offers a gripping historical account of the outlaws who ruled the high seas across different eras. Written by Joseph Gollomb, this work provides a detailed look at the lives and exploits of sea robbers, from the legendary buccaneers of the Golden Age of piracy to less familiar figures from more modern times.

Gollomb delves into the personalities of famous figures such as Blackbeard and Captain Kidd, while also shedding light on the socio-economic conditions that drove men to a life of crime on the water.
