Book excerpt: "In the remote Bocas del Toro, Panama, William Dathan Holbert, aka 'Wild Bill,' is awaiting trial for the murder of five fellow American ex-patriots. Holbert's first victims were the Brown family, who lived on a remote island in the area's Darklands. There, Holbert turned their home into the 'Jolly Roger Social Club,' using drink- and drug-fueled parties to get to know other ex-pats ... But this is not just a book about what Holbert did and the complex financial and real estate motives behind the killings; it is about why Bocas del Toro turned out to be his perfect hunting ground, and why the community tolerated--even accepted--him for a time"

Book excerpt: Over the last couple of decades, an ideological battle has raged over the political legacy and cultural symbolism of the “golden age” pirates who roamed the seas between the Caribbean Islands and the Indian Ocean from roughly 1690 to 1725. They are depicted as romanticized villains on the one hand and as genuine social rebels on the other. Life Under the Jolly Roger examines the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by relating historical accounts to a wide range of theoretical concepts—reaching from Marshall Sahlins and Pierre Clastres to Mao Zedong and Eric J. Hobsbawm via Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault. With daring theoretical speculation and passionate, respectful inquiry, Gabriel Kuhn skillfully contextualizes and analyzes the meanings of race, gender, sexuality, and disability in golden age pirate communities, while also surveying the breathtaking array of pirates’ forms of organization, economy, and ethics. Life Under the Jolly Roger also provides an extensive catalog of scholarly references for the academic reader. Yet this delightful and engaging study is written in language that is wholly accessible for a wide audience. This expanded second edition includes two new prefaces and an appendix with interviews about contemporary piracy, the ongoing fascination with pirate imagery, and the thorny issue of colonial implications in the romanticization of pirates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This full-color facsimile reprint of the actual JOLLY ROGERS war book appears here in a new quality edition. (The following is from the original dust jacket). No group of fliers since the Flying Tigers of China has ever emerged from the war with greater glory than the world famous Liberator unit . . . the JOLLY ROGERS. Month after month, since September, 1942, American newspapers and magazines have brimmed over with colorful stories about this most colorful of all B-24 outfits. Less celebrated Liberator units have complained that all these laurels fell to the JOLLY ROGERS because of their fascinating name and twin-tail insignia - a huge skull surmounting two crossed bombs. But the history of the JOLLY ROGERS tells its own story. No single heavy bomber unit in the Air Corps has ever claimed to beat the record of the JOLLY ROGERS in the number of enemy attackers shot out of the skies. Their bombing record has been acclaimed by the Men who ought to know . . . the men with stars on their shoulders in the Southwest Pacific. In this book you will find the faces of the men who were and still are the JOLLY ROGERS. Many of these have left the unit to return to the United States. Many have left, never to return. But all - cooks and clerks, fliers and ground crews - have earned their right to the page of American history which the JOLLY ROGERS have written with bombs and bullets. But more - the Editors of this book have tried to capture the flavor of life in the Southwest Pacific. No book about any Air Corps unit could ever be complete without the laughter, the irritation, the discomfort, the natives . . . the backdrop against which the greatest of all human dramas was played. It is with a sense of deep reverence and humility that this book is dedicated to the men whom no book could ever honor sufficiently . . . the men of the JOLLY ROGERS who died for their country.

The costs in terms of both economic loss and seafarers' deaths and injuries are enormous. To curtail the crime, the authors suggest U.S. policy reforms, new roles for government agencies and military and maritime enforcement units, and a redefinition of jurisdictions."--BOOK JACKET.

Munro was serving a life sentence for a war crime he was forced to commit, left to take the fall for the politicians and brass who were truly to blame. But now he is free, after a jailbreak gone awry, and in possession of the most powerful cruiser in the Confederate Armada, which he renamed "The Jolly Roger." On the run with a rag-tag crew of misfit ex-cons, his agenda is simple: justice" -- Page [4] of cover.
