Sea-Wolves of the Mediterranean

About this book

Sea-Wolves of the Mediterranean' is Edward Hamilton Currey's most famous work. It was originally published in 1910, and is an audacious text. It attempts to place Mediterranean piracy in the context of its times, when life was violent, politics was crude and greatness determined by force. The book was celebrated by many as a factually accurate, measured and generally empathetic account. In the preface to the text, Currey wrote that the book's 'supreme qualification' was its 'interest.' We are republishing this wonderful history of piracy with a short introduction to the text and it's author.
