An estimated seven hundred American citizens, sailors, and naval officers were taken captive over the course of the Barbary Crises (1784-1815), and this overseas danger threatened to grow and irreparably harm the young republic. This book reconstructs the largely forgotten influence of these early American conflicts with North Africa.
