Let me tell you that this is one of the best books that I have read in a while. I had heard the term "Tripoli Pirates" before but gave it little thought, however I now fully understand the guts that it took for our country, in its infancy, must have had in order to confront a problem in the area that the rest of the world chose to cower to instead of confront.
Several heroes emerge in the book under the governance of a strong and willing leader. I looked for reasons to give this book a less than 5 rating, but I came up with no such reasons.
Once you begin reading it, you will have difficulty putting it down.
