Reids Intrepid Sailors is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in the Barbary Wars, early American naval history, or just in search of a first-rate story.H-WAR, Commodore Edward Prebles campaign against Tripoli in 1804 constituted a school in audacious naval tactics for a band of young officers who would distinguish themselves in the War of 1812. Chipp Reids lively account of the exploits of Prebles Boysprovides an interesting introduction to one of the most fondly remembered generations of American naval leaders that includes Stephen Decatur, Isaac Hull, and Thomas Macdonough.David Curtis Skaggs, author of Thomas Macdonough: Master of Command in the Early U.S. Navy and Oliver Hazard Perry: Honor, Courage, and Patriotism in the Early U.S. Navy, Packed with action, Chipp Reids Intrepid Sailors is impossible to put down. Thoroughly researched, beautifully written, it casts new light on Commodore Edward Prebles attacks on Tripoli in 1804, showing how these seminal events shaped a generation of naval heroes, including Stephen Decatur Jr., Isaac Hull, Charles Stewart, Thomas Macdonough, James Lawrence, and Charles Morris.George C. Daughan, author of 1812: The Navys War and If by Sea: The Forging of the American NavyFrom the Revolution to the War of 1812, "The Preble story is obviously not new, but Reid's manner of approaching history is both refreshing and astute. Reid serves his subject well with interesting insights and an eye for detail that makes compelling reading. All-in-all, a most welcome treatment of a long-forgotten war that established so much of our illustrious Naval tradition." -- Sea Classics, "Commodore Edward Preble's campaign against Tripoli in 1804 constituted a school in audacious naval tactics for a band of young officers who would distinguish themselves in the War of 1812.

There is a lot of good information on the men and ships of the squadron, along with an explanation of how difficult it is to maintain a blockade with limited resources. The book has a good mix of familiar and new information (or at least it was new to me) and I found it an enjoyable read.Naval Gazing blogspot, "The author, Chipp Reid, did a good job of using original sources and later interpretations to create an interesting narrative about Preble's squadron.
