Story Of The Barbary Corsairs

Story of the Barbary Corsairs

by Stanley Lane-Poole

The book delves into a historical account of piracy in the Mediterranean Sea, particularly along the Barbary Coast, from the 15th to the 19th century. It focuses on the rise and prominence of Barbary corsairs, primarily pirates of Moorish origin who operated out of North African ports and wreaked havoc on maritime trade. The narrative spans from the era of the notorious pirate Ujra Barbarossa to the French conquest of Algeria in 1830, which marked a turning point in the suppression of piracy in the region.
