Based on letters and some information previously unavailable, the author gives "a full portrait" Sir Walter Raleigh (1554-1618): poet, soldier, courtier, spy, explorer, and popularizer of tobacco use. It is also one of the first biographies to emphasize Raleigh's private life--and not the historical events surrounding his career--from youth through fame, travel, disgrace, and gruesome execution.
