With its flourishing maritime trade and lucrative colonial possessions, the young Dutch Republic enjoyed a cultural and economic pre-eminence, becoming the leading commercial power in the world. Dutch seamen plied the world's waters, trading,exploring, and colonizing. Many also took up pillaging, terrorizing their victims on the high seas and on European waterways. Surprisingly, this story of Dutch freebooters and their depredations remains almost entirely untold until now. Piracy and Privateering in the Golden Age Netherlands presents new data and understandings of early modern piracy generally, and also sheds important new light on Dutch and European history as well, such as the history of national identity and state formation, and the history of crime and criminality.PrivateeringNetherlandsHistory17th centuryPiratesNetherlandsHistory17th centuryNetherlandsHistory, NavalElectronic books.PrivateeringHistoryPiratesHistory910.4/5Lunsford Virginia West854513MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910451092703321Piracy and privateering in the golden age Netherlands1908230UNINA
