520    "Another blockbuster! Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli 
       Pirates reads like an edge-of-your-seat, page-turning 
       thriller. You will love this book and also wonder why so 
       few people know this story. No one captures the danger, 
       intrigue, and drama of the American Revolution and its 
       aftermath like Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger."?Brad Thor 
       This is the little-known story of how a newly indepen?dent
       nation was challenged by four Muslim powers and what 
       happened when America's third president decided to stand 
       up to intimidation. When Thomas Jefferson became president
       in 1801, America faced a crisis. The new nation was deeply
       in debt and needed its economy to grow quickly, but its 
       merchant ships were under attack. Pirates from North 
       Africa's Barbary coast routinely captured American sailors
       and held them as slaves, demanding ransom and tribute 
       payments far beyond what the new coun?try could afford. 
       Over the previous fifteen years, as a diplomat and then as
       secretary of state, Jefferson had tried to work with the 
       Barbary states (Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco). 
       Unfortunately, he found it impossible to negotiate with 
       people who believed their religion jus?tified the plunder 
       and enslavement of non-Muslims. These rogue states would 
       show no mercy?at least not while easy money could be made 
       by extorting the Western powers. So President Jefferson 
       decided to move beyond diplomacy. He sent the U.S. Navy's 
       new warships and a detachment of Marines to blockade 
       Tripoli?launching the Barbary Wars and beginning America's
       journey toward future superpower status. As they did in 
       their previous bestseller, George Washington's Secret Six,
       Kilmeade and Yaeger have transformed a nearly forgotten 
       slice of history into a dramatic story that will keep you 
       turning the pages to find out what happens next. Among the
       many sus?penseful episodes: ·Lieutenant Andrew Sterett's 
       ferocious cannon battle on the high seas against the 
       treacherous pirate ship Tripoli . ·Lieutenant Stephen 
       Decatur's daring night raid of an enemy harbor, with the 
       aim of destroying an American ship that had fallen into 
       the pirates' hands. ·General William Eaton's 
       unprecedented five-hundred-mile land march from Egypt to 
       the port of Derne, where the Marines launched a surprise 
       attack and an American flag was raised in victory on 
       foreign soil for the first time. Few today remember these 
       men and other heroes who inspired the Marine Corps hymn: 
       "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli, we 
       fight our country's battles in the air, on land and sea." 
       Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates recaptures this 
       forgot?ten war that changed American history with a real-
       life drama of intrigue, bravery, and battle on the high 
       seas. From the Hardcover edition. 
520    Traces the events of a nearly-forgotten war between the 
       United States and the pirates of North Africa's Barbary 
       coast, who routinely captured American merchant ships and 
       held their crews for ransom.
