Description: Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger (2018) Paperback "Thomas Jefferson and the Tripoli Pirates: The Forgotten War That Changed American History" by Brian Kilmeade and Don Yaeger (2018) explores a pivotal but often overlooked episode in early American history. The book recounts the First Barbary War (1801-1805), in which President Thomas Jefferson took a stand against North African pirates who had been capturing American ships and enslaving sailors. Jefferson's bold decision to send the U.S. Navy to fight the pirates marked the nation's first significant military engagement overseas, shaping America's approach to foreign policy and asserting its sovereignty on the world stage. Through engaging storytelling, Kilmeade and Yaeger highlight the bravery and resilience of the American sailors and officers who fought to protect their young republic.
