About this listen

 Discover the harrowing tale of Aaron Smith, a young English sailor who was ruthlessly ensnared by Cuban pirates in 1822. Enslaved as a navigator and forced to partake in horrific acts of murder and torture, Smith provides a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the grim reality of 19th-century piracy. Aided by a courageous Cuban woman, he narrowly escapes death but is unjustly arrested as a pirate in Havana and transported to England in shackles. His gripping narrative unfolds as he faces a high-stakes trial at the Old Bailey courthouse, with the attorney general leading the relentless prosecution. This is a powerful, unvarnished account that brings the brutal world of piracy to life. (Summary by Google Books)
