Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates, The Forgotten War that Changed American History
by Brian Kilmead and Don Yaeger, 2015, Random House, New York
This is a quick book to read and it is done pretty well. The authors keep it moving so the reader never gets bogged down. It tells the story of the first Barbary Pirate War and the actions that took place. The book also makes reference to the second Barbary Pirate War that was conducted later by President Madison.
The book was of interest to me as I didn’t know much about what transpired during this war. The authors also did a good job of capturing the importance of this war to the United States.
