Buddy Levy writes narrative non-fiction about explorers, adventurers, and the extreme situations they put themselves in. His books take readers to some of history’s most inhospitable places — the jungles of South America in Conquistador (2008), the Amazon in River of Darkness (2011), and the frozen Arctic in Labyrinth of Ice (2019) and Empire of Ice and Stone (2022).

Levy has a talent for making historical figures feel immediate and real. American Legend (2005) tackles the mythology around Davy Crockett, while his 2025 book Crockett returns to the same subject with fresh research. Whether writing about Geronimo’s leadership strategies or the harrowing Greely expedition to the North Pole, Levy keeps the storytelling gripping without sacrificing historical accuracy.
