Exploring the multifaceted conflict between Barbary corsairs and Europe from the mid-sixteenth to early nineteenth centuries, this collection delves into primary-source narratives that reveal a complex human struggle. Featuring biographies of renegade captains, firsthand accounts of sea battles, and stories of ransomed captives, the book offers a nuanced perspective beyond typical pirate tales. Translated documents, including a French friar's ransoming expedition report and an Inquisition trial transcript, illuminate a turbulent world filled with relatable human experiences and aspirations.
