A relatively simple and short story stretched into book length. Some interesting background on the pirate trade and its clash with state and and its proxy, the East India Company - one of the world's first corporations formed in 1600. But ultimately not enough story to make this into an engaging book.
Really interesting read. The author does a great job of tying multiple and seemingly unrelated topics together while also recounting in a compelling way a daring pirate heist.
