[quote=Anonymous]I read this book last year about a 17th century British pirate whose brutal attack on ships returning to India from Mecca threatened the East India Company’s relations with the emperor but ultimately empowered the British to add more forces to “protect” India. The pirate hid out in the Bahamas and then disappeared. Some of the coins from the Muslim ships were discovered in New England a few years ago.

He was one of the most hunted men on Earth — and then he disappeared

[i]As Steven Johnson notes in his page-turner of a book, “Enemy of All Mankind,” Every was at one time the most hunted man on Earth. He and his band of pirates brought terror to the Indian Ocean, upsetting Britain’s dance with the Mughal Empire, most notably one Abu Muzaffar Muhiuddin Muhammad Aurangzeb Alamgir, or Aurangzeb for short, also known as the Universe Conqueror.[/i]
