<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Historian Ronald offers a fresh look at Elizabeth I, focusing on her uncanny instinct for financial survival and her superior intellect that propelled and sustained her rise, including her use of piracy to transform her realm into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. 16-page b&w photo insert.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Extravagant, whimsical, and hot-tempered, Elizabeth was the epitome of power, both feared and admired by her enemies. Dubbed the pirate queen by the Vatican and Spain's Philip II, she employed a network of daring merchants, brazen adventurers, astronomer philosophers, and her stalwart Privy Council to anchor her throne--and in doing so, planted the seedlings of an empire that would ultimately cover two-fifths of the world. </p><p>In <em>The Pirate Queen</em>, historian Susan Ronald offers a fresh look at Elizabeth I, relying on a wealth of historical sources and thousands of the queen's personal letters to tell the thrilling story of a visionary monarch and the swashbuckling mariners who terrorized the seas to amass great wealth for themselves and the Crown. </p>
