Story of the Barbary Corsairs
'Story of the Barbary Corsairs' Summary
This historical work provides a comprehensive overview of the phenomenon of Barbary corsairs, pirates who terrorized the Mediterranean Sea for centuries. It chronicles their origins, their methods of operation, and the impact they had on trade, politics, and the lives of coastal communities. Lane-Poole and Kelley vividly describe the rise of the Barbary corsairs, their 'Golden Age' of piracy, and the eventual decline of their power in the face of European naval dominance and diplomatic efforts.
