“Our exasperating experiences with the Barbary States of northern Africa, continuing for a generation after the United States had won its independence, constitute an interesting chapter of American history and one from which we may derive permanently valuable lessons.” So begins President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Foreword to Naval Documents related to the United States Wars with the Barbary Powers, the second of two compilations (after Naval Documents related to the Quasi-War between the United States and France) prepared at his direction with the approval of Congress in 1934 and published between 1939 and 1944.
