It's 1804, the frigate Philadelphia went aground off Tripoli and triumphant Muslims carried the ship, cargo, and 307 offices and crew members into captivity. Here, consumately told, are America's repeated attempts to rescue the hostages and the daring overland invasion of Tripoli--an event memorialized to this day in the Marine hymn.
