Oh, don't be taken in by old lovely dovely book Sam.
Who did Frodo entrust his account of the War of the Ring to? And so who had final editorial control over it? Yes, that's right. Sam and his family. So it's hardly likely to be an unbiased portrayal of him, is it? No doubt he heavily edited it to make himself look all humble and loyal and heroic.
The guy's a fake. Get rid of him now!
