Sterling Point Books®: The Barbary Pirates

Sterling Point Books®: The Barbary Pirates

C.S. Forester, creator of the beloved Horatio Hornblower series, takes young readers on an exciting adventure to the shores of Tripoli in North Africa. Thatâ€™s where, more than 200 years ago, the United States was threatened by Â“piratesâ€ who snatched American merchant ships and imprisoned sailorsÂ—and the countryâ€™s young, untested navy took on the task of fighting the pirates in their home waters. This true tale features thrilling ocean battles, hand-to-hand combat, and the first landing on foreign soil by the US Marines, and itâ€™s as fresh and relevant today as when it was first published.
