Today bestselling author Brian Kilmeade of the Fox News Channel will speak and sign copies of his new book THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE TRIPOLI PIRATES: The Forgotten War That Changed American History at Barnes & Noble.
In the vein of his acclaimed bestseller George Washington’s Secret Six, THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE TRIPOLI PIRATES tells the story of the American President who refused to “pay for peace” and the tiny flotilla he tasked with establishing America’s sovereignty on the high seas—which would go on to inspire the creation of the future U.S. Marine Corps.
