Does this mean I have to learn how to speak Somali?
There is a book out this year called:
Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean
And its not comedy it's dry history.
" How a Generation of Swashbuckling Jews Carved Out an Empire in the New
World in Their Quest for Treasure, Religious Freedom--and Revenge"
It's another Spanish Inquisition book.
" the pirate rabbi Samuel Palache..."

Fiction is boring.
Give me History any day.
