In June 1631, Barbary and Turkish pirates stormed ashore near Baltimore, a small village on the southern tip of County Cork, Ireland. Led by notorious pirate captain Morat Rais, the brigands captured almost all the villagers and dragged them away to be sold in the slave markets of North Africa. Only two ever saw Ireland again.

The Sack of Baltimore was sensational, the most devastating attack ever mounted by Islamist forces on Ireland or England. Des Ekin’s exhaustive research and vibrant writing illuminates this highly unusual and dramatic episode, describing the political intrigues that sealed the captives’ fate and providing vivid insight into the conditions of slave life in old Algiers
