Just finished read "Navy's Barbary War Crucible by William M. Fowler, Jr, from the August 2005 issue of Naval History Magazine. Lots of famous names in Naval History, but not a war I knew much about.

For #AHASummerRead I have chosen to read a history of a place I know little about. I am being a bit liberal with the interpretation and making it about an EVENT I know little about. In keeping with my naval interest, I've chosen the Barbary Pirates and the US War against them. Anyone got a short overview?

I've started reading the SpyMistress by Jennifer Chiaverini as part of #AHASummerRead. Here's a hypothetical -- Virgnia never secedes. What happens?
