Newark initially discusses piracy in general and comments on pirate life. His book covers the most famous pirates such as Captain Kidd, Blackbeard, Sir Henry Morgan and "Buxom Buccaneers" as well as the Barbary Corsairs, and piracy in ancient and medieval times in his chapter called The Progress of Piracy. Privateer/pirates like John Paul Jones and Sir Francis Drake have chapter as does outright pirates Jean Laffite and Francois L'Olonois. The book is filled with b & w illustrations and about a dozen in color. Most of the illustrations apparently come from Mr. Newark's private collection.
