During his life and even after his death, Captain William Kidd’s name was known around England and the American colonies. He was infamous for the very crime for which he was hanged, piracy. This book by Rebecca Simon dives into the details of the two-year manhunt for Captain Kidd and the events that ensued afterward. Captain Kidd was hanged in 1701, and from that sprung a massive hunt for all pirates led by the British during a period known as the Golden Age of Piracy. Ironically, public executions only led to pirates’ growth in popularity and interest.

Okay but not what I expected
Revisado: 05-03-23
This book was performed well but the story is not what I was expecting from the description. While there are several mentions of Captain Kidd and a short section dedicated to him I would not describe the book as having a focus on his manhunt. Several stories/biographies were referenced several times and sometimes seemed repetitive. While an okay listen I did consider stopping before the end and moving on to something more interesting.
