Description

From the coast of Southern Europe to Morocco and the Ottoman states of Algiers, Tunis and Tripoli, Christian and Muslim seafarers met in bustling ports to swap religions, to battle and to trade goods and sales. Tinniswood draws on a wealth of material, from furious royal proclamations to the private letters of pirates and their victims, as well as recent Islamic accounts. Studying the origins of these men, their culture and practices, Tinniswood expertly recreates the world of the corsairs and uncovers a clash of civilisations.
