The story
In 1904, Morocco is the source of conflict among the colonial powers of Germany, France, and the British Empire.
He kidnaps the American Eden Pedecaris and her children, William and Jennifer, in a raid on their home.
In response, Roosevelt sends the South Atlantic Squadron, under the command of Admiral French Ensor Chadwick, to Tangier, either to retrieve Pedecaris or to force the Sultan to accede to Raisuli's demands.
