  Examines raids on Spanish shipping conducted from the United States during the early 1800s. These activities were conducted on behalf of republics in Spanish America aspiring to independence. Because privateering complicated international dealings during the tumultuous Age of Revolution, the book also offers a new perspective on the diplomatic and Atlantic history of the early American republic.
