David B. and Filiu draw striking parallels between ancient and contemporary political history in this look at the US-Middle East conflict.

The reader is transported to the pirate-choked Mediterranean sea, where Christians and Muslims continue the Crusades, only this time on water.

As the centuries pass, the traditional victims of the Muslim pirates - the British, French, and Spanish - all become empire-building powers whose sights lie beyond the Mediterranean.
