+From the end of the American Revolution, commercial vessels of the young United
+States republic were easy prey for the pirates of the Barbary coast. In 1801,
+newly inaugurated President Thomas Jefferson was eager to put an end to this
+threat and sent a "squadron of observation" to the Mediterranean. As the
+squadron arrived in Gibraltar, they learned that the bashaw of Tripoli had
+already declared WAR!
+
+<p>
+The Shores of Tripoli plays out this exciting episode of Early American
+military history. As the United States, one player will pressure Tripolitania
+to allow the free movement of American merchant vessels - or face the
+consequences. As the bashaw of Tripoli, the other player will continue the
+lucrative piracy of the fearsome corsairs while countering the American threat
+on land and sea.
