Either that or they could have a basic understanding of the history.

In that case I heartily recommend reading/listening to this...

I found it to be quite enjoyable. The short answer is, the show is not accurate about her at all.

I thoroughly enjoyed Republic of Pirates.

Port Royal...the most evil place on earth it was called.

Love it, great quick summary. I would always recommend Republic of Pirates for anyone interested in an awesome book on pirate history. It is non-fiction that reads like fiction..excellent author.

I'm guessing that these are the books they're using for history reference mainly.

Edit: Cordingly -Also a good resource book.

I speak italian and ive been to 50 countries :D

hmmmm... well, not much that Ive read fall under that price range. Do you like in the USA, can you use Amazon?

That one is 9-10 dollars, the story of Captain Kidd. If you dont mind used editions some of the stuff by Robert K Massie is under 5 dollars for print.

Ghenghis Khan and The Making of The Modern world was fascinating

The republic of Pirates was pretty interesting too

i linked to used books, so be aware of that - i buy almost all of my books used in "good" or "great" condition and have no complaints so far.

I found similar enjoyment in The Republic of Pirates. It is non-fiction, and took place a bit earlier, and has Blackbeard as protagonist, but still seafaring adventures and an interesting insight into the why of piracy.

You're missing The Republic of Pirates which is some of the source material for AC4BF.

A General History of the Pyrates is a contemporary account of many of the more famous pirates, historically, though much of it is hooplah.

Likewise, the devs have stated directly that they're trying to shy away from the romanticized version of pirates depicted in Hollywood cinema, so both films you have listed are not the best places to go to for reference points.

thought you might find this interesting it is the prices of some things from the book "The Republic of Pirates"

Some are just criminals, but not all.

I liked to think of the characters as represented from Black Flag as I read through it. I highly recommend.

Io dopo aver visto Black Sails ultimamente mi sto facendo una cultura sul mondo dei pirati (origini, dettagli amministrativi, finanziari e logistici, ecc...) con questo: https://www.amazon.it/Republic-Pirates-Surprising-Caribbean-Brought/dp/015603462X/

A General History of the Pyrates
An 18th century account of the life of many pirates of the era.

The Republic of Pirates
Modern history book examining piracy of the era.

Both of these books were apparently used as sources for the game.

The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodard is an excellent read on the topic.
