In his latest book, Richard Blakemore delves into the often-overlooked history of piracy, challenging common misconceptions prevalent in popular culture. Titled "Enemies of All," Blakemore's work sheds light on the origins, identities, and impact of pirates during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Blakemore's discussion is complemented by an examination of Captain Charles Johnson's influential 1724 book, "A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates."
