The Story of the Barbary Corsairs
Stanley Lane-Poole
Gelesen von James K. White
A history of the pirating activities along and around the "Barbary coast" between the 15th and 19th centuries, from the time of the pirate, Ujra Barbarossa, to the French control of Algeria in 1830. Although piracy had plagued all the world's waterways from the first time man decided to trade by boat or ship, authors Lane-Poole and Kelley tell mainly of the origins and "Golden Age" of the Moor pirates who rampaged the Mediterranean Sea from ports of call along the north coast of Africa. - Summary by James K.

Arab History

It is an amazing detailed history of the Arab Nations control over much more powerful adversaries. The Barbary pirates kept France England and all the other European countries are more powerful at bay for hundreds of years. I knew a little bit about how the United States reacted to it but had no idea how long this means of extortion went on prior to that time. If you're a historian you'll enjoy it.
more than just a history book
calicub
Great fun, and it reads like a series of short stories than as a history book. It always saddens me to read about Europes cowardice in the face of the Moors and Mohammedans, but history is nothing if not tragic.
History in a rousing style
Nick Raphael
Beautifully written and exciting account if of somewhat questionable historical accuracy. Not a monograph. The reader does a stupendous job: clear and dramatic delivery, even of the author’s formal rhetoric.
Fascinating
Luca Colautti
So much to understand about current European and Mediterrenean events. Beautifully read by James K White from Chula Vista CA USA
great book and an even better reader
