Oh, this all reminds me of Tim Severin's Corsair; great book.

The whole thing of calling the pirates Jihadists is, I fear, an example of the way all historical events have to be made Relevant to things happening today.

Sounds exactly like My Sort Of Thing! I'll have to look out for it.

It was a very interesting book and you might also enjoy the Simurgh and the Nightingale by Roger Derham which is fiction based around the same moment. I enjoyed it.

Dear Wyvernfriend,
Thank you for that comment. I am currently re-publishing that particular book in instalments on my blogspot http://deworde.blogspot.com.
With best wishes,
Roger Derham
