Finished reading: Captain Kidd by Samuel Marquis

An opinionated, thoroughly researched biography of history’s most notorious pirate. Turns out most of what I “know” about Kidd was British propaganda to save the king substantial embarrassment.

Even if every “maybe” in this book fell against Kidd, he was a richer, deeper, far less evil person than I’ve always been told.

The epilogue to this book helps explain a lot of odd comments made throughout. You must read it.
