Pirates of Barbary: Corsairs, Conquests and Captivity in the 17th-Century Mediterranean by Adrian Tinniswood
5.0
A great read!
It might be hard to believe, but this book and piracy, connects a lot of the missing dots of international relations between the Islamic and Christian Worlds.
Many of today's events stem from this conflict.
Many conceptions of pirates today are 'fake' - in a sense they are not Ho HO Ho people who look 100% like Jack Sparrow. Most of them are Muslims.
This being a narrative of a historical book, which makes reading engaging and easy, I would say it is a recommended reading for many people in this world, for youths, adults, and people from the other faiths.
