The real lives of this motley crew-which included cross-dressing women, people of color, and the'outcasts of all nations'-are far more compelling than contemporary myth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marcus Rediker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807050253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807050255\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.80d","brand":"Marcus Rediker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047474524415,"sku":"9780807050255","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d4de5ce4-e7ae-4277-a3a1-df32bbdc8826.jpg?v=1684990420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/villains-of-all-nations-marcus-rediker-9780807050255","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
