Produktbeschreibung
On January 2, 1678, a fleet of French ships sank off the Venezuelan coast. This proved disastrous for French naval power in the region, and sparked the rise of a golden age of piracy. Tracing the lives of fabled pirates like the Chevalier de Grammont, Nikolaas Van Hoorn, Thomas Paine, and Jean Comte d'Estrées, The Lost Fleet portrays a dark age, when the outcasts of European society formed a democracy of buccaneers, settling on a string of islands off the African coast. From there, the pirates haunted the world's oceans, wreaking havoc on the settlements along the Spanish mainland and -- often enlisted by French and English governments -- sacking ships, ports, and coastal towns. More than three hundred years later, writer, explorer, and deep-sea diver Barry Clifford follows the pirates' destructive wake back to Venezuela. With the help of a lost map, drawn by the captain of the lost French fleet, Clifford locates the site of the disaster and wreckage of the once-mighty armada.

Autorenporträt
This book sets out also to decode the artificially created complexities and secrecy that most lawyers and the judicial system work within. This accounts for their heavily inflated fees that has created a world that separates law from justice. When a fee of ¿1.9 million is charged against a young man in a simple case of mistaken identity and the legal system lets it stand in any way, then we don't have a legal system but legal racketeering. I have set out to help expose the system and empower any person to take on their own case and win by using those same laws against the corruption within the system itself. This was done by my own baptism of fire is a case that stretched a full five years in helping a friend to win his case. The good new is we WON and you can win too!
