The Barbary Wars: American Independence in the Atlantic World - Frank Lambert

Detalii:

nFrank Lambert details Americas nineteenth-century conflicts in the Middle East in The Barbary Wars. n nThe history of Americas conflict with the piratical states of the Mediterranean runs through the presidencies of Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison; the adoption of the Constitution; the Quasi-War with France and the War of 1812; the construction of a full-time professional navy; and, most important, the nations haltering steps toward commercial independence. Frank Lamberts genius is to see in the Barbary Wars the ideal means of capturing the new nations shaky emergence in the complex context of the Atlantic world. n nDepicting a time when Britain ruled the seas and France most of Europe, The Barbary Wars proves Americas earliest conflict with the Arabic world was always a struggle for economic advantage rather than any clash of cultures or religions.n
