C. S Forester
The Barbary Pirates
eBook
( July 26, 2020)
They were the most brutal, cunning and adventurous pirates on the face of the earth. Wherever they marauded, men sailed in terror and rich merchantmen feared for their cargoes. For two thousand years they plundered the seas from their lairs along the coast of North Africa—until the tiny, ill-equipped Navy of the new-born United States set out to blast them out of the seas.
In this dramatic reconstruction of one of the most exciting periods in naval history, Forester tells the story of the pirates, their incredible raids and the men who finally brought about their downfall. Though basically written for younger readers, THE BARBARY PIRATES will appeal to all lovers of sea stories.—Back Cover.
