Summary "The Story of the Barbary Corsairs" by Stanley Lane-Poole and J. D. Jerrold Kelley is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the notorious era of piracy along the Barbary Coast, presenting the exploits of the Barbary Corsairs, particularly focusing on their raids against European shipping and the interplay of power in the Mediterranean between the 16th and 18th centuries. The opening of the narrative introduces the historical backdrop of the Barbary Corsairs, highlighting their rise to power following the expulsion of the Moors from Spain. It explains how the hardships and resentments felt by these exiled communities led them to take to the seas in retaliation, evolving into a fierce maritime presence. The text outlines the geography of the Mediterranean, detailing how its strategic ports and the Corsairs' naval skills facilitated their acts of piracy and offered insights into the socio-political dynamics that allowed these Corsairs to flourish for centuries. The reader is invited to understand the motivations behind the Corsairs' relentless pursuits and the challenges posed to European nations as they struggled against this formidable foe.
