Long before the American Revolution and the Declaration of the Rights of Man, a motley crew of sailors, slaves, pirates, laborers, market women and indentured servants had their own ideas about freedom and equality, ideas that would change history. Marshaling lost stories unearthed over a decade of original research, The Many-Headed Hydra recounts the role of these forgotten revolutionaries in the making of the modern world.

"A marvellous book ... recaptures, with eloquence and literary flair, the lost history of resistance to capitalist conquest on both sides of the Atlantic." Howard Zinn; "Rediker and Linebaugh are celebrated American scholars whose pioneering studies over the last two decades have helped to shift labour history from its skilled, white, male moorings - The Many-Headed Hydra is a wonderful book."; Sukhdev Sandhu, Guardian
