The Republic of Pirates by Colin Woodward is a wonderful book focused on Caribbean pirates (This book was used as a source for another question posted a couple of months ago on this sub). Woodward, C. (2008). The Republic of Pirates: Being the True and Surprising Story of the Caribbean Pirates and the Man Who Brought Them Down. Mariner Books. https://www.amazon.com/Republic-Pirates-Surprising-Caribbean-Brought/dp/015603462X

Pirates by Peter Lehr is a global history of pirates up to the present including the push and pull factors into piracy. Lehr, P. (2019) Pirates: A New History, From Vikings to Somali Raiders. Yale University Press. https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300180749/pirates

These are two more general pirate books that I found fantastic and came highly recommended. I have always been interested in Pirates, but have not formally studied them. So I am interested in other responses and recommendations of books on the subject too. Additionally this is the first time I am posting in this sub, I am unsure if this fits the community rules/is in depth enough of an answer.
