From Barbary to Paris: Jefferson in a World of Pirates
A sprawling narrative traces Thomas Jefferson’s diplomacy and travels from the Barbary pirate era to his Paris years. It details his efforts against Barbary Powers, his naval proposals, and his influence on Franco-American relations, plus vivid scenes of his family life, his alley with French reformers, and his public and private duties in the late 18th century.
