Pirates VS Pirates

Author(s): Richard Platt and Steve Stone (illustrator)

Education

What would happen if a dashing Barbary corsair fought one of the fearsome Viking raiders? Who would win and why? Who would be the ultimate fighting pirate? In "VS - Pirates", pirates meet and engage in deadly combat, in fierce hand-to-hand battles. Information on chosen weapons (such as cutlasses, grappling hooks and pistols), plus armour and tactics, gives further insight to each pirate's strengths and character.
