The ’jolly roger’ is probably the most iconic flag in the world. Nobody can see the skull and cross-bones without thinking ’pirates’. This carefully-researched book explores the history of the famous pirate flag, its many variants, and includes descriptions and illustrations of every ’jolly roger’ recorded during the ’golden age’ of piracy in the eighteenth century.
