    "description": "Fall captive to the code\u2014the real-life buccaneer bylaws that shaped every aspect of a pirate\u2019s life.\n \nPirates have long captured our imaginations with images of cutlass-wielding swashbucklers, eye patches, and buried treasure. But what was life really like on a pirate ship? Piracy was a risky, sometimes deadly occupation, and strict orders were essential for everyone\u2019s survival. These \u201cLaws\u201d were sets of rules that determined everything from how much each pirate earned from their plunder to compensation for injuries, punishments, and even the entertainment allowed on ships. These rules became known as the \u201cPirates\u2019 Code,\u201d which all pirates had to publicly swear by. Using primary sources like eyewitness accounts, trial proceedings, and maritime logs, this book explains how each one of the pirate codes was the key to pirates\u2019 success in battle, on sea, and on land.",
