<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Published to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the first American colony, "A Savage Kingdom" presents the bold, even reckless, political adventure driven by a sense of imperial destiny and dogged by official hostility.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Four centuries ago, and thirteen years before the <em>Mayflower</em>, a group of men--led by a one-armed ex-pirate, an epileptic aristocrat, a reprobate cleric, and a government spy--arrived in Virginia aboard a fleet of three ships and set about trying to create a settlement on a tiny island in the James River. Despite their shortcomings, and against the odds, they built Jamestown, a ramshackle outpost that laid the foundations of the British Empire and the United States of America. </p><p>Drawing on new discoveries, neglected sources, and manuscript collections scattered across the world, <em>Savage Kingdom</em> challenges the textbook image of Jamestown--revealing instead a reckless, daring enterprise led by outcasts of the Old World who found themselves interlopers in a new one. </p>
