Description
This book exposes readers to the little-known history of Chinese piracy from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, when it was unsurpassed in size and scope anywhere else in the world. By providing a large selection of primary sources, this book allows previously silenced pirates, victims, and officials to tell their stories in their own words.
