In Search of Captain Cook by Daniel O'sullivan
Captain James Cook was the greatest explorer of his age. He and his crews had encounters with peoples of the South Seas which could lead to mutual respect and trade. Yet despite what is known about him, the man himself remains shrouded in mystery. This book reveals Cook's character, teasing out his personality from the pages of his own journals.
'an excellent piece of work..does for Cook what Greg Dening did for William Bligh' Richard Woodman, author of the 'Nathaniel Drinkwater' Naval History series
