In this definitive biography, Ernle Bradford has brilliantly recreated Barbarossa’s remarkable life alongside a vivid portrayal of the Ottoman and Mediterranean worlds at this thrilling moment in history. Admiral, naval hero, pirate, warrior and empire-builder, Kheir ed-Din or Barbarossa, as he was known in the West, was a legendary figure. Born on Lesbos in Greece he rose to become High Admiral of the Ottoman Navy, Sultan of Algiers and friend and advisor to Suleiman the Magnificent. His life dominated the history of the Mediterranean in the 16th century. From the moment that he and his brother, Aruj, established themselves on the North African coast, the pattern of life and trade in the Mediterranean changed forever and for nearly 300 years after it was affected by the activities of raiders from what came to be called the Barbary Coast. His achievements in reorganizing the Ottoman Navy and his command of it helped the expansion of the Turkish Empire that threatened all of Europe.

This is book one from three for the complete autobiography for Pirate Barbarossa(Red Beard) or Khaireddine Barbarous who dictated it on his colleague and friend in the sea life the poet and writer Sayed Ali Almuradi. He wrote his autobiography after an order from Sultan Soleiman Alkanuni known as Soleiman The Magnificient. The human is the son of his environment. What does mean this proverb? That means his environmental circumstances influence directly and indirectly his thoughts and behaviors along with his life. The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries were an extension of the culture of Piracy which had been spread worldwide centuries earlier in the Indian ocean, the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean. Piracy was considered as the standard, the norm, and the normal of that era. It was a source of enrichment for normal people and for countries. It was practiced by countries implicitly, so many pirates worked for the account of empires. Barbarossa and his brother Arruj were not the exceptions, they were raised in this world and atmosphere it wasn’t immoral to practice piracy. Something is clear is that they practiced piracy after they were normal traders with their ships and after the imprisonment and the torture of Arruj the Barbarossa's oldest brother by the Rhodes Knights on his way to Tripoli in Lebanon. Barbarossa, an Italian word meaning the Red Beard. Mostly the Venetians in the fifteenth century who called Khaireddine Basha or Khedher with this name. Barbarossa or Khaireddine was born in Midilli island in 1478, he died in Istanbul in 1546. At an early age, he use the ship as we use in our days the cars and all the transportations mean. With time the sea became really his real home. A normal person can work outside throughout the day and return at the end of the day to his home to take a rest, Barbarossa took this rest in his ship’s cabinet in the large of the sea everywhere. Through this autobiography, Barbarossa talked about all the incidents that he lives, saw, or testified about by himself. The religious context at that time was major in his stories as the adversaries the Ottoman empire in aside the Venice, the Spanish and the Portuguese empires in another side each side represents a religion and his followers the Ottoman empire represents Islam, the Spaniards, the Portuguese and the Venetians represents the Christianity. The use of words like Kaffer or kuffar which means unbelievers or infidels was frequent. Despite his solid heart as an adventurer in real life not like in Hollywood movies, I found that he has a very sensitive soul when the matter concerns his brother Arruj, his relatives, his men, and the poor that he tried always to help them everywhere. Barbarossa never talked about his mom, his education, and his Childhood. For example, he didn’t mention that his mom was a priest widow before she married his father. He didn’t mention that besides the military work of his father he was working on pottery and when they started trading he and his brother Arruj they sold the pottery of their father outside the Midilli island(Lesbos today). He didn’t specify that their brother Isaaq preferred administrative work. Barbarossa and his brother Arruj saved the lives of tens of thousands of Muslims and Jews escaping from the tyranny and the torture of the Spanish Chruch at that time and transferring them to North Africa and Greece in Salonica. This autobiography reflects all the cultures, values, morals, and behaviors of all people surviving at that time.

In this volume three, Barbarossa continues reciting about the incidents developed especially in Algiers, Tunis, Spain, Italy, and Istanbul in Turkey. The unfinished fights between them and their ultimate enemy, the Spaniards. He talked about the biggest battles never occurred in the seas and oceans with 600 ships on the Spanish side in front of 122 ships from their position. And how he could defeat them despite the huge gap in forces. He talked too about a gigantic attack with 516 ships from the Spaniards' camp including troops from Italy, Belgium, France, Netherlands, and others on Algiers city to occupy it and how his son Hasan could overcome them too with just 600 Turkish warriors and 2000 Arabs volunteers! He described too how he became an admiral over the Ottoman Empire fleet. He reported about Carlos the king of Europe kings and his first admiral Andrea Doria. Their secrets, their attitudes, and behaviors along the story events. How they kill, torture, and burn entire families in Spain and America. He mentioned several times the ottoman empire sultan Suleiman Khan and his great respect for him was expressed in his words. He mentioned also his sea captains and their personal skills.

I nominate this second part as "Arruj Death", who was the hero of the initial part of this life story. In this second part, Barbarossa continues citing the scenes that he live with his brother Arruj. The major events took place with the Spaniards in the sea and in the land. The areas holding these incidents are principally Algeria of today including ' Algiers' the Capital, 'Jijel', 'Bejaya' and 'Telemsan'.'Tunis' which is too the metropolis of Tunisia at that stage and now, held a considerable part of his tale for the strange facts that he survive. The east and west of the Mediterranean are involved too in his stories. 'Fass' city in Morocco and the south of Spain are introduced here. The crucial event was the death of Barbarossa brother Arruj in a battle defending his sons. He describes several personalities who had a profound influence on the development of the historic episodes. He talks about treasons that he got by men like 'Ibn Alkadhi' who took a space in the time chronicles of his autobiography. Other persons like 'Massoud', 'Abdallah' and 'Kara Hasan' considered by him as traitors against the Ottoman domination in North Africa. The Sultan of 'Tunis' and all the conspirators were allied with the Spain against him and his brother Arruj. In this part two, the events in the land are comparable in description for the ones in the sea with the ships. Barbarossa and his brother Arruj has the practice of the battles in the sea and in the lands and most of these fights were conquered by them except for two, the first one resulted by the beheading of Arruj after a treachery by the Spaniards in their deal with him. The second one was by 'Ibn Alkhadi' who arranged for them an ambush in a mountains way where Barbarossa lose 750 of his sailors and despite this he survived with most of them.

Northern Africa is dominated by the Sahara Desert, stretching across the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. This book is about the people who lived around the edges of the Desert and the different ways in which they responded to its challenges, establishing networks of communication across its expanse. But the Sahara has not always been a desert. From about 9000 BC the region began to enjoy a warm, humid period allowing vegetation to flourish and wild animals to move in. Humans soon followed practising pastoral economies but with the onset of harsher conditions once more around 3000 BC the desert reclaimed its own. Since then fluctuations in climate have continued to affect the lives of people living around the desert fringes. The communities occupying the North African Coast and in the Nile Valley have come under the influence of the states dominating the Near East and the Mediterranean but those living in in the Sahel to the south of the desert have developed their own distinctive cultures. The book tells the story of the growing links between the two worlds, showing that Africa played a crucial part in the development of the Old World before it was drawn into the story of the New World.

“Christopher de Bellaigue has a magic talent for writing history. It is as if we are there as the era of Suleyman the Magnificent unfolds.” —Orhan Pamuk, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Narrated through the eyes of the intimates of Suleyman the Magnificent, the sixteenth-century sultan of the Ottoman Empire, The Lion House animates with stunning immediacy the fears and stratagems of those brought into orbit around him: the Greek slave who becomes his Grand Vizier, the Venetian jewel dealer who acts as his go-between, the Russian consort who becomes his most beloved wife. Within a decade and a half, Suleyman held dominion over twenty-five million souls, from Baghdad to the walls of Vienna, and with the help of his brilliant pirate commander, Barbarossa, placed more Christians than ever before or since under Muslim rule. And yet the real drama takes place in close-up: in small rooms and whispered conversations, behind the curtain of power, where the sultan sleeps head-to-toe with his best friend and eats from wooden spoons with his baby boy. In The Lion House, Christopher de Bellaigue tells the story not just of rival superpowers in an existential duel, nor of one of the most consequential lives in human history, but of what it means to live in a time when a few men get to decide the fate of the world.
