(4.4 stars; 10 reviews)

The Barbary pirates, sometimes called Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs, were Ottoman and Berber pirates and privateers who operated from North Africa. The most famous (or infamous) was Barbarossa. Here Kelley and Lane-Poole give us an unromanticized look at these villains of the seas. The work includes the rise of the Knights Templar and the colonization of Africa by England and France. (6 hr 30 min)

Fascinating history that time has largely erased from public consciousness or discourse - an empire run on millions of white Christian slaves! Read by mostly very good narrators, though I'm afraid I couldn't listen to the last chapter, too strongly accented & mispronounced. Apart from that, it's now a favourite.

this is a fascinating review the history of the Barbary Coast. fortunately the writing is rather dry more of a history text then a popularized narrative. and the reading spotty sometimes rushed sometimes read with an accent made it difficult hear some of thatto hear place and personsl names.
