Summary Follows Hurley's footsteps in the early 1900's to the Antarctic, Belgium, Papua New Guinea, Israel and Australia to see if he was a giant of photography or a conjurer with a camera. One of the last of the renowned imperial adventurers, he captured the first images ever seen of some of the world's most inhospitable and uncharted territories. But historians now know that some of "Captain Hurley's" photos were elaborate concoctions--and a few were outright fakes. His snapshots of Antarctic heroes, world wars, and mysterious natives in faraway jungles seized the imagination of all who saw them. But were those images transformed in the darkroom to the level of myth?
