Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. vii, [3],596 pages. Illustrations. Abbreviations Index to Sources. Folding Map. Bookplate of noted Naval Authority John Lyman inside the front cover. This is the seventh volume of a project for publishing documentary material dealing with early American naval history. It covers naval operations from December 1, 1800 to December 31, 1801, inclusive, completing the series of seven volumes on the Quasi-War with France (1798-1801), and contains much hitherto unpublished matter concerning naval activity, together with related political and commercial affairs. In addition to the material relating to operations this volume contains supplementary date as follows: a register of naval officers serving in the war; a list of United States Ships of War with pertinent data; a list of such armed merchant vessels as have been found in various contemporary sources with data concerning their active part in the war; a list of Navy Agents; and a small Appendix which includes documents received after the publications of the preceding volumes. The Quasi-War was an undeclared war fought from 1798 to 1800 between the United States and France. Most of the fighting took place in the Caribbean and off the Atlantic coastline of the United States. The war originated in disputes over the application of the 1778 treaties of Alliance and Commerce between the two countries. France, then engaged in the 1792-1797 War of the First Coalition, which included Great Britain, viewed the 1794 Jay Treaty between the United States and Britain as incompatible with those treaties, and retaliated by seizing American ships trading with Britain. The United States responded by suspending repayment of French loans from the American Revolutionary War. When diplomatic negotiations, culminating in the XYZ Affair, failed to resolve the issue, French privateers began attacking merchant ships in American waters. On July 7, 1798, Congress authorized the use of military force against France, and reestablished the United States Navy. United States Marines were also reestablished to defend and board warships, as well as land troops if needed. The United States informally cooperated with Britain, chiefly in allowing merchant ships to join each other's convoys. Likewise, France cooperated with Spain on a minor scale. President John Adams continued diplomatic efforts to resolve underlying issues; this coincided with Napoleon taking power in France, who, for various reasons, was keen to agree to terms. This led to the Convention of 1800, which ended the war.

The book also contains data concerning over three hundred American armed merchant vessels which participated in the war during the year 1798, taken from such sources as are available, the accuracy of which cannot be vouched for in all cases.

Commodore Dudley Wright Knox (21 June 1877 11 June 1960) was an officer in the United States Navy during the SpanishAmerican War and World War I. He was also a prominent naval historian, who for many years oversaw the Navy Department's historical office, now named the Naval History and Heritage Command. During the SpanishAmerican War he served aboard the screw steamer Maple, a tender, in Cuban waters. He commanded the gunboats Albay and Iris during the PhilippineAmerican War of 1899-1902 and the latter during the Chinese Boxer Rebellion of 1899-1901. He then commanded three of the Navy's first destroyers: Shubrick, Wilkes and Decatur, before commanding the First Torpedo Flotilla. During the 1907-1909 cruise of the "Great White Fleet", sent around the world by President Theodore Roosevelt, he served as ordnance officer of the battleship Nebraska (BB-14). Knox became a leading figure in developing naval operational doctrine by publishing an influential article in the U.S. Naval Institute Proceedings. He served for a year on the faculty of the Naval War College, when he became a key figure on the Knox-King-Pye Board that examined professional military education. Early in World War II he was assigned as Deputy Director of Naval History. Through his personal connection with President Roosevelt, he was able to publish key, multi-volume collections of documents on naval operations in The Quasi-War with France in 17981800, the First Barbary War and the Second Barbary War. The First Barbary War (18011805), also known as the Tripolitan War and the Barbary Coast War, was a conflict during the 18011815 Barbary Wars, in which the United States fought against Ottoman Tripolitania. Tripolitania had declared war against the United States over disputes regarding tributary payments in exchange for a cessation of Tripolitanian commerce raiding at sea. United States President Thomas Jefferson refused to pay this tribute. The First Barbary War was the first major American war fought outside the New World, and in the Arab world, besides the smaller AmericanAlgerian War (17851795). Just before Jefferson's inauguration in 1801, Congress passed naval legislation that, among other things, provided for six frigates that "shall be officered and manned as the President of the United States may direct." In the event of a declaration of war on the United States by the Barbary powers, these ships were to "protect our commerce and chastise their insolenceby sinking, burning or destroying their ships and vessels wherever you shall find them." Commodore Edward Preble, traveled to Messina, Sicily, to the court of King Ferdinand IV of the Kingdom of Naples. The kingdom was at war with Napoleon, but Ferdinand saw an opportunity and supplied the Americans with manpower, craftsmen, supplies, gunboats, mortar boats, and the ports of Messina, Syracuse, and Palermo to be used as naval bases for launching operations against Tripoli, a port walled fortress city protected by 150 pieces of heavy artillery and manned by 25,000 soldiers, assisted by a fleet of 10 ten-gunned brigs, 2 eight-gun schooners, two large galleys, and 19 gunboats. The first action of the campaign took place on 1 August 1801, when the armed schooner Enterprise (commanded by Lieutenant Andrew Sterret) defeated the 14-gun Tripolitan corsair Tripoli in battle. Throughout 1803, Preble set up and maintained a blockade of the Barbary ports while taking action to seize and harass their fleets. In October 1803, Tripoli's fleet captured the USS Philadelphia intact after the frigate ran aground while patrolling Tripoli harbor. The ship, her captain William Bainbridge, and all officers and crew were taken ashore and held as hostages. On the night of 16 February 1804, Captain Stephen Decatur led a small detachment of United States Marines aboard the captured Tripolitan ketch rechristened Intrepid, thus deceiving the guards on Philadelphia to float close enough to board her. Decatur's men stormed the ship and overpowered the Tripolitan sailors. Preble attacked Tripoli on 14 July 1804, kicking off a series of battles. The turning point in the war was the Battle of Derna (AprilMay 1805). Ex-consul William Eaton and United States Marine Corps 1st Lieutenant Presley O'Bannon led a force of U.S. Marines and five hundred mercenaries on a march across the desert from Alexandria, Egypt, to capture the Tripolitan city of Derna. This was the first time the United States flag was raised in victory on foreign soil. The action is memorialized in a line of the Marines' Hymn"the shores of Tripoli". The capturing of the city gave American negotiators leverage in securing the return of hostages and the end of the war. Yusuf Karamanli signed a treaty ending hostilities on 10 June 1805. Clear plastic dust wrapper present.
