More about the book

The Barbary corsairs, emerging in the late fifteenth century, terrorized Mediterranean shipping from North African ports like Salé, Rabat, and Algiers. Operating under the Ottoman Empire, these Muslim pirates disrupted trade routes and instilled fear among Christians, shaping the historical narrative of the Barbary Coast, named after its Berber inhabitants. Their notorious activities highlight a significant period of maritime conflict and cultural clash in the Mediterranean.
