Haring employs a rich narrative style, interweaving historical accounts, sailor folklore, and socio-political context to depict the pirates not merely as outlaws but as complex figures shaped by the economic and geopolitical forces of their time. His meticulous research spans various primary sources, illustrating the intricate relationships among pirates, colonial powers, and indigenous peoples in the Caribbean, while also addressing the impact of piracy on trade and maritime law.
