I have an interest in the history of piracy in the age of sail. Although alot of information can be found about european pirates of the Carribean, I cant find anything about piracy in the middle east and far east. Im wondering if anyone from asian nations who visits this forum can give me any info on where to find books or websites about history and folklore of piracy in your respective seafaring history.
