Guy Chet is the author of he Ocean is a Wilderness: Atlantic Piracy and the Limits of State Authority, 1688-1856. It's a really interesting scholarly work that digs down into the idea of how long piracy in the Atlantic actually lasted and what finally brought it to a half.

In this episode:

• How long Atlantic piracy actually lasted and why
• What actually brought Atlantic piracy to an end
• Where they went after
• Some interesting ways to look at and interpret history
