In the spring of 1575, Holland’s Northern Quarter-the waterlogged peninsula stretching from Amsterdam to the North Sea-was threatened with imminent invasion by the Spanish army. Since the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt a few years earlier, the Spanish had repeatedly failed to expel the rebels under William of Orange from this remote region, and now there were rumors that the war-weary population harbored traitors conspiring to help the Spanish invade. In response, rebel leaders arrested a number of vagrants and peasants, put them on the rack, and brutally tortured them until they confessed and named their principals-a witch-hunt that eventually led to a young Catholic lawyer named Jan Jeroenszoon.

This is a new take on the Jack the Ripper story.

It follows the way the crimes affected the local population, the rumors that swept the streets, the alarms, the riots, the persecutions, the suspicions, and the sheer naked terror of the awful autumn when Jack the Ripper stalked the streets. This is the authentic version of how the case of the Ripper pulled apart lives in London’s East End.

The popular image of pirates today-the combined effect of three centuries of books, plays, operas, films, cartoons, and children’s games-is extraordinarily powerful.Pirates have become the mythical equivalent of giants, vampires, wizards, or witches, and they no longer seem quite real. Yet they definitely were real-as this first comprehensive, worldwide historical survey makes abundantly clear-and considerably more frightening historically than Long John Silver or Captain Hook. The barnacled sea dogs featured in this fascinating volume well deserved their reputations for bravery, hard drinking, avarica, foul language-and casual violence and cruelty.
