About the Book

William Walker: The Great American Imperialist Filibuster"I was fourteen years ofilibusterld when I first understood that excellence is its own peculiar form of imprisonment." So begins the haunting first-person account of William Walker, the brilliant Nashville prodigy who became one of history's most infamous adventurers. A doctor by nineteen, a dueling journalist by twenty-five, and president of Nicaragua by thirty-one, Walker believed himself destined for greatness-a conviction that would lead him to conquer a nation and lose everything. Based on the true story of America's most notorious filibuster, The Grey-Eyed Man traces Walker's inexorable descent from intellectual prodigy to failed conqueror. Through Walker's own voice, we witness his transformation from idealist to imperialist, his brief triumph as ruler of Nicaragua, and his ultimate destruction at the hands of forces he never understood-including his own inability to admit error. In prose that is both psychologically penetrating and historically vivid, this novel explores the dangerous intersection of ambition and delusion, asking whether Walker was a visionary ahead of his time or simply a cautionary tale about the perils of Manifest Destiny. His answer comes too late, against a Honduran wall, facing a firing squad at age thirty-six. Some destinies are fulfilled. Others consume those who pursue them.
