The narrative dives into the motivations, backgrounds, and consequences faced by these adventurous figures. The opening of the book sets the stage for a thorough examination of filibusterism by tracing the etymology of the term "filibuster" and its historical context, going back to the days of Norse adventurers and buccaneers.
