From the jacket: "For those readers who like to defy the vagaries of the weather and get off the beaten track for a while, Rogues and Raiders will take you on a ten-thousand-mile journey to the sunny islands of the Bahamas and the Caribbean, the Spanish Main, across the Isthmus of Panama, and down the South Pacific coast to Ecuador, Peru and Chile. Both the tourist and the armchair traveller should not fail to read this book, filled with stories of pirates, buccaneers and lost treasure, the white witch of Jamaica, the city beneath the sea, and how a stowaway discovered the South Sea."
