“‘My head or yours,’ the defiant pirate leader said. The battle began.
It is the early 1800’s and that brand new nation, the United States of America, is trying desperately to establish trade in the rich Mediterranean. But the bloodthirsty Barbary Pirates of North Africa are ruthlessly capturing American merchant ships, stealing their cargoes and forcing American to pay ransoms for their passengers and crews. Now it is time to fight back. The fledgling American Navy is dispatched to the ‘shores of Tripoli’ by an angry President Thomas Jefferson. With a few fighting ships and a handful of sailors and marines, could the young United States accomplish what the European nations had failed at for hundreds of years? Could they smash the Barbary Pirates?”
Hardcover, slight bend to both boards and musty smell, but no mold present. No other issues.
