Richard Zacks is the author of The Pirate Hunter: The True Story
of Captain Kidd (Hyperion, 2002), and it’s NOT some lame
Peter Pan/Hollywood account of peg-legs and eye patches.
The real Captain Kidd was a New York privateer (1654-1701),
who was hired to chase pirates and then double-crossed by
his backers. This is an authentic nautical adventure and has
been translated into Finnish and Spanish. Zacks’ first book,
History Laid Bare (1994), delivers unusual accounts of sex,
from Mark Twain’s jokes about penis size to Joan of Arc’s
virginity tests. The New York Times gushed: “Zacks specializes
in the raunchy and perverse.” His second book, An Underground
Education (100,000+ copies sold) explores a huge
range of topics, from Edison’s secret role in developing the
first electric chair to Abe Lincoln’s plan to ship out the freed
slaves. His latest book is The Pirate Coast: Thomas Jefferson,
the First Marines and the Secret Mission of 1805 (2005). The
author lives in Pelham, NY, with his wife Kristine and their
kids, Georgia and Ziggy.
