Many-Headed Hydra Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic

"...Linebaugh and Rediker understand the new world of the Atlantic in the broadest terms....Their grand vision evokes the texture of working class life: the rough and tumble of a dockside tavern, the stench of rotting hulls, the small possibilities of the plantation quarter and the sweet discovery of eternal life in moments of evangelical enthusiasm. More important, they make the connections other historians, tied to more monographic formulations, often miss."Linebaugh, Peter is the author of 'Many-Headed Hydra Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic', published 2001 under ISBN 9780807050071 and ISBN 0807050075.
