The Many-Headed Hydra 
The Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic

Long before the American Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a motely crew of sailors, slaves, pirates, labourers, market women, and indentured servants had ideas about freedom and equality that would for ever change history.
The Many-Headed Hydra recounts their stories in a sweeping history of the role of the dispossessed in the making of the modern world.
