"Sea-Wolves of the Mediterranean: The Grand Period of the Moslem Corsairs" by Commander E. Hamilton Currey is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the intriguing and tumultuous era of the Moslem corsairs during the 16th century, focusing particularly on key figures like Uruj and Kheyr-ed-Din Barbarossa. Through detailed narratives, it examines the intersection of piracy, warfare, and the broader socio-religious dynamics that shaped the Mediterranean region in this period. At the start of the narrative, Currey sets the stage by tracing the background of the Moslem corsairs, emphasizing their transformation from exiled warriors in Northern Africa to influential maritime powers. The introduction highlights the historical context following the expulsion of Moriscos from Spain, illustrating how personal grievances, religious zeal, and economic desperation fueled their rise to piracy. We learn about the notorious Barbarossa brothers and their exploits, which include daring attacks against Christian ships and the capturing of fortified locations such as Bougie. Currey effectively establishes the dramatic atmosphere of this age, filled with tumultuous battles, shifting alliances, and the distinctive culture of the sea-rovers, showcasing their lasting impact on the historical narrative of the Mediterranean.
