Pirates from North Africa routinely captured American sailors and held them as captives demanding ransom and tribute far beyond what the new country could afford. <p/>Jefferson found it impossible to negotiate a truce, and decided to move beyond diplomacy. He sent the U.S. Navy and Marines to blockade Tripoli--launching the Barbary Wars and beginning America's journey toward future superpower status. <p/>This vivid and accessible young readers adaptation of the <i>New York Times</i> bestseller features an exclusive new introduction, extensive back matter, and eye-catching art throughout.
