Zanim nastała era wielkich piratów w XVIII w., na Karaibach grasowali jeszcze bardziej bezlitośni łupieżcy, których czasy ochrzczono mianem „Ery Bukanierów”.

Znani bukanierzy, pokroju Henry’ego Morgana, przeprowadzali swe najazdy pod protekcją korony angielskiej, a w 1697 r. armia francuska skorzystała nawet z pomocy bukanierów podczas zdobywania słynnej hiszpańskiej Cartageny.

W XVII wieku Anglia i Holandia trzykrotnie toczyły ze sobą wojny, będące częścią większego konfliktu o supremację ekonomiczną i morską.

W tym czasie okręty wojenne stały się prawdziwymi liniowcami, które królować będą w wojnach morskich aż do wynalezienia napędu parowego. W książce tej prześledzono rozwój tych jednostek podczas trzech wojen angielsko-holenderskich.
