A Brave and Cunning Prince: The Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America

James Horn uses A Brave and Cunning Prince to investigate the Great Chief Opechancanough and the War for America through a carefully framed biographical portrait. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
