Everyone knows the story of Pocahontas, and how she saved John Smith. And were it not for Smiths leadership, the Jamestown colony would surely have failed. Yet Smith was a far more ambitious explorer and soldier of fortune than these tales suggest and a far more ambitious self-promoter, too, so reputed for his truculence that the pilgrims of the snubbed him when he offered them his services, though he was the unrivaled expert on America. Now, in the first major biography of Smith in decades, award-winning BBC filmmaker and author Peter Firstbrook () traces the adventurers astonishing exploits across three continents, testing Smiths own writings against the historical and geographical reality on the ground.
