Cover of Soledad Acosta de Samper: Los piratas en Cartagena (PDF)

Cartagena de Indias fue la plaza fuerte mejor defendida y artillada de todo el Caribe. Fue también la más atacada por las potencias enemigas de España en multitud de guerras y por los piratas que infestaron durante tres siglos el llamado ‘Dominio Hispano’. En este volumen de Soledad Acosta de Samper, actualizado ahora con un prólogo del historiador Justo Cuño Bonito, se reviven las principales peripecias históricas de la ciudad de Cartagena y los ataques sufridos por algunos de los más notables piratas, con una notable fidelidad no mermada por lo novelesco de ciertas recreaciones. Queda patente en estas páginas el punto de vista hispánico, concretamente, colombiano, menos publicitado que el punto de vista anglosajón, pero no menos relevante.
