A decade of research into the seventeenth and eighteenth century unearths ideas and stories about liberty, democracy and freedom that terrified the ruling classes of the time. Linebaugh and Rediker show how the motley crew had their own versions of democracy. The rebellions they led were the result of unlikely and often multiracial collaborations. And although they were eventually suppressed, their ideas about liberty and freedom were used by the founders of modern revolutions.
