 | The Prize Game by Donald A. Petrie
This naval history explores the doctrine of prize taking, by which naval vessels and privateers were allowed to board enemy ships and take away cargo. Designed to encourage the growth of navies, this practice formed the basis for many popular fictions, and is said to have brought about some form of law and order on the high seas. The author looks at its origins in the Middle Ages and its decline in the 19th century, and draws examples from many sea stories. AUTHOR: Donald A. Petrie
