As Britain embarked on a naval arms race, Statham offered engaging and entertaining stories of the pirate's close relation, the privateer. Insisting his tales were 'without embroidery', he recounts the lives and exploits of 'licensed plunderers'. In his conclusion, Statham questions the possible role of such action in future wars.
