Pirates from North Africa's Barbary Coast routinely captured American merchant ships and held the sailors as slaves, demanding ransom and tribute payments far beyond what the new country could afford. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFor fifteen years, America had tried to work with the four Muslim powers (Tripoli, Tunis, Algiers, and Morocco) driving the piracy, but negotiation proved impossible. Realizing it was time to stand up to the intimidation, Jefferson decided to move beyond diplomacy. He sent the U.S. Navy and Marines to blockade Tripoli--launching the Barbary Wars and beginning America's journey toward future superpower status. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFew 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.\" \u003ci\u003eThomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates\u003c\/i\u003e recaptures this forgotten war that changed American history with a real-life drama of intrigue, bravery, and battle on the high seas.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBRIAN KILMEADE \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eDON YAEGER \u003c\/b\u003eare the coauthors of \u003ci\u003eGeorge Washington's Secret Six\u003c\/i\u003e, a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestseller for more than five months.
