In their 2000 published in the United States book "The Many-Headed Hydra" represent the American historian Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker dar. the formation of the "Atlantic capitalism" They illuminate the origins and the breathtaking rise of global capitalism in the early region of the "English-speaking Atlantic" from the end of the 16th until the beginning of the 19th Century, without which the world as it is today, can not be thought. Using many primary sources from all areas of the social spectrum, it is possible the authors, the "hidden history" of the Atlantean colonization by the emerging British Empire in the "footnotes" of historiography in the heart of its vibrant depiction of living conditions to move.

It is the story of the impoverished masses, the sailors and slaves, debt slaves, easy women, marginalized workers and peasants and all those on the so-called "common rights" were in urgent need. The authors point to the endless acts of mutilation, the execution, of terror and slavery conditions, where European, African and American workers were exposed to the proper place. Because the violence was, as they say, "larger than most historians would admit it."

Contrary to popular history, the authors of the revolt and organizational efforts of the "multi-ethnic workers" who were trying to counter some of the violence suffered in the center of their investigation. The arms act as political subjects in appearance, rather than as an unpredictable and dismissed politically naive mass werdenAus reconstruct a wealth of historical traditions and the authors describe riots, strikes and mutinies against the powerful colonizing and settlement project of Empire. Landless, disenfranchised slaves and developed forms of cooperative resistiveness, without compromising issues of national origin, skin color or gender played a determining role. The lower classes designed entirely its own draft of a "better life" free from exploitation and violence.

acted in the eyes of the relevant authority it is this unpredictable and often invisible amorphous underlayer, in fact, a "many-headed Hydra," the severed head for every two new rose. The book chronicles the subterranean history of the transatlantic empire. In the Anglo-Saxon countries it is considered a classic of modern Labor History. In 2001 it was awarded the International Labor History Award.
