Beschreibung:
Gregory Fremont-Barnes holds a doctorate in Modern History from the University of Oxford. He lectured in Japan for eight years, and has written numerous books, including The French Revolutionary Wars, The Peninsular War, The Fall of the French Empire, 1813-1815, the Boer War, Trafalgar 1805, and Nelson's Sailors. He is also editor of the three-volume Encyclopedia of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and co-editor of the five-volume Encyclopedia of the American Revolutionary War.
The wars against the Barbary pirates not only signaled the determination of the United States to throw off its tributary status, liberate its citizens from slavery in North Africa, and reassert its right to trade freely upon the seas: they enabled America to regain its sense of national dignity. The wars also served as a catalyst for the development of a navy with which America could project its newly acquired power thousands of miles away. By the time the fighting was over the young republic bore the unmistakable marks of a nation destined to play a major role in international affairs.
