The Enemy of All Mankind: A True Story of Piracy, Power, & History's First Global Manhunt

The Enemy of All Mankind: A True Story of Piracy, Power, & History's First Global Manhunt. An interesting nonfiction tale of piracy and global politics. Henry Every joined the British Navy, took part in a mutiny, stole the fastest ship available, and sailed for the Indian Ocean to begin a career as a pirate. When he takes a treasure ship belonging to the Grand Mughal and commits horrid atrocities with the women they find on board, the East India Company and the English Crown begin the first global manhunt to bring him in.
