Between piracy and patriotism lies privateering: swift, armed merchantmen licensed to strike an enemy's trade. Fast ships, hard men, profit. Edgar Stanton Maclay traces American privateering history from colonial waters to the great Atlantic naval warfare of the Revolution and the War of 1812, when commerce raiders at sea helped decide fortunes far from the battlefield. Written with a reporter's pace and a historian's eye, this military history nonfiction work offers letters of marque explained in plain, workable language, alongside the economics and law that made capture pay. It follows revolutionary war privateers and war of 1812 privateers through blockades, prize courts, diplomacy, and shifting definitions of legitimacy. Both a naval history reference and a narrative maritime history book, it is rich in names, ports, prizes, and the practical realities of sail, armament, and sea law. Readers new to the subject will find pirates and privateers history made clear; naval history for enthusiasts will appreciate how these ventures sit beside the rise of the United States Navy. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. First published when naval archives were being organised, Maclay's work helped secure privateers a place in national memory, and remains a dependable companion beside any modern naval history reference today.
