2.		Cochrane: The Real Master and Commander from Bloomsbury USA Price: $10.09 Customer Review: The purported model for the great Patrick O'Brian hero Jack Aubrey, this biography reads like fiction. Cochrane was scarred from battle, tossed and upended in his love life, sometimes broke, and always fighting political admirals and a bureaucratic government.

3.		Under the Black Flag: The Romance and the Reality of Life Among the Pirates from Random House Trade Paperbacks Price: $6.55 Customer Review: This is a very thorough view of the very short history of pirates which spanned the late 1600's through the mid 1700's.

8.		Pirates - Predators of the Seas: An Illustrated History from Skyhorse Publishing Price: $8.08 Customer Review: While this book in and of itself is not bad , if you have the author's previous work on pirates, this one seems pointless.
