Overview

""The Claims of the United States Against the Kingdom of Naples"" is a meticulous examination of the diplomatic and legal efforts made by the United States to secure compensation for maritime losses sustained during the Napoleonic era. Written by Paul Christopher Perrotta, this historical study delves into the complex negotiations between the young American republic and the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, focusing on the spoliation claims resulting from the seizure of American ships and cargoes. The work provides a detailed account of the diplomatic missions involved, highlighting the challenges of international law and the geopolitical tensions of the early 19th century. Perrotta explores the legal arguments presented by both sides and the eventual resolution through treaty. This volume is an essential resource for scholars of American diplomatic history, international law, and the history of the Mediterranean. It sheds light on a significant yet often overlooked chapter in U.S. foreign relations, illustrating the persistent efforts of the American government to protect its commercial interests and uphold the rights of its citizens on the high seas.
