Book description
Why read it?
1 author picked Pirates of the South China Coast, 1790-1810 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Dian Murray spent ten years in Taiwan and mainland China in the 1970s and 1980s doing groundbreaking research into the early 19th century pirates, which became her PhD dissertation, later expanded into this book. This is the first attempt in any language to put together the full story of these pirates. Being an academic, her interest was less on the wider narrative and personalities, and more on various issues of historical development, sociology, weaponry, and more. By far the most important book for anyone researching these pirates. Sadly out of print.
From Larry's list on Chinese pirates.
