"The Pirate Coast" by Richard Zacks tells the amazing story of "Thomas Jefferson, the First Marines, and the Secret Mission of 1805". William Eaton leads a handful of U.S. Marines, a couple of dozen foreign mercenaries and some always suspicious Arab allies 500 miles across the North African desert and takes Tripoli from the land side. It sounds like something Sharpe might have done!
