4.0 out of 5 stars
Good video on Barbary Pirates,
By Dr J (United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: In Search of History: Pirates of the Barbary Coast [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is an excellent video on a forgotten chapter in American history when the pashas of north Africa extorted money from European and American shipping. Unfortunately, the pashas were able to make a ton of money from the Europeans, who actually used the pashas as pawns against their rivals. However, the Americans, who really had no navy, weren't going to be intimidated, and launched a fleet against them. From this expedition a hero was born--Stephen Decatur. It's very interesting and exciting stuff. Why only four stars? Well, the narrator is quite dull and takes all the excitement from the presentation. Great and important information, though!
