Story of the Barbary Corsairs

Story of the Barbary Corsairs
The 'Story of the Barbary Corsairs' by J. D. Jerrold Kelley provides a historical account of piracy along the Barbary Coast from the 15th to the 19th centuries. It covers notable figures such as Ujra Barbarossa and details the 'Golden Age' of Moorish pirates who operated in the Mediterranean Sea. The book explores the origins of these pirates and their impact on maritime trade until the French conquest of Algeria in 1830. This work is significant for its focus on a lesser-known aspect of maritime history.
