The Buccaneer King: The Story of Captain Henry Morgan
Graham A. Thomas
This is the story of a Welshman who became one of
the most ruthless and brutal buccaneers of the golden age of piracy.
His name was Captain Sir Henry Morgan and, unlike his contemporaries, he
was not hunted down and killed or captured by the authorities. Instead
he was considered a hero in England and given a knighthood as well as
being made governor of Jamaica. As Graham Thomas reveals in this fresh
biography of this complex and intriguing character, Morgan was an
exceptional military leader whose prime motivation was to amass as much
wealth as he could by sacking and plundering settlements, towns and
cities up and down the Spanish Main.As featured on BBC Radio Wiltshire
and in Cardiff Times.
