THE EIGHTH FLAG

by Stanford Joines

Overview

PIRATES. Kalinago, Conquistadors, Buccaneers, Fillibustiers, or Freebooters, they all took what they neither earned nor produced, and that made them all pirates. Pirate bases in the Northern Caribbean changed between generations, but in the Lesser Antilles, one small island, Saint Croix, belonged to them all, a pirate base for two hundred and fifty years. Come inside, meet the rogues and share their stories. Sail with me.

About the Author

I have practiced storytelling for 31 years in front of the toughest audiences on the planet. My career has been teaching high school history, music, and sailing, twenty-eight of those years in the Caribbean. I have sailed the waters, dived on and probably identified two pirate shipwrecks, and sailed through hurricanes. My voice is different from that of sedentary researchers or inexperienced fantasy writers. My voice is real.

Editorial Reviews

I learned more about the tragic and fantastic history of the Caribbean in the first thirty pages of this book than I ever learned in my history classes in school. Well written and easily accessible, the reader meets the natives before Europeans arrived, and some of the most infamous adventurers--Conquistadors, Buccaneers, and Pirates--that the world has ever seen. Mr. Joines does not sugar-coat what he has learned. Well researched and well written, a must-read for history lovers.
