**Intact Gift Giving Condition book**

Few people realize that the facts of his life make for a much better tale. Everybody knows the legend of Captain Kidd, America's most ruthless buccanneer. Kidd was actually a tough New York sea captain hired to chase pirates, a married war hero whose secret mission took a spectacularly bad turn. This harrowing tale traces Kidd's voyages in the 1690s from his home near Wall Street to Whitehall Palace in London, from the ports of the Caribbean to a secret pirate paradise off Madagascar.
