About THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE TRIPOLI PIRATES:

“The challenges we face today are not so different from Jefferson’s, and we’ve much to learn from his boldness and from the courage of the marines and sailors who died to protect their country.” —Brian Kilmeade

This is the little-known story of how a newly independent nation was challenged by four Muslim powers and what happened when America’s third president decided to stand up to intimidation.
