About the Book

The Atrocities Of The Pirates - An Honest Account Of A Captive The Atrocities of the Pirates is a simple and honest account by English seaman Aaron Smith. In 1822 he was taken captive by pirates and forced to witness horrendous atrocities and torture which he later accounted. Aaron Smith has had the bad luck of ending up at the mercy of the pirates. In 1822, while he was working as a seaman on an English ship, the vessel was boarded by cruel pirates while it was returning from Jamaica to England. Smith was forced to work as a navigator on the pirates' ship and, there, he had the chance or misfortune of seeing some of the cruelest atrocities possible. He ended up witnessing pirates torturing, maiming and murdering countless victims as well as other crimes. He eventually met a Cuban woman and they became friends. He later escaped, but his torment didn't end there, as he got caught in Havana and arrested for piracy. He was later shipped to England in chains where he would have to fight for his life in a trial. Worse yet, the trial was occurring at the Old Bailey courthouse and the prosecution was led by the attorney general himself. No one can dispute Smith's grueling experiences with the pirates and his ordeal. While his writing is far from a literary piece of work, it is an honest account of the piracy and the people who embraced it back in the early 19th century. Smith's unromanticized view of the era's piracy and practices combine in a thrilling work which can be experienced form the comfort of a seat. Aaron Smith's The Atrocities of the Pirates is a recommended book for anyone wishing to read an honest account that does not turn to fiction and metaphors to describe the grueling experiencing and torment among pirates.
