In Search of Captain Cook

Captain James Cook was a master voyager who commanded three demanding scientific expeditions. Yet despite everything that is known, the man himself remains shrouded in mystery. O'Sullivan casts vivid light on Cook's character, teasing out his personality from the pages of his own journals. Presenting Cook's life thematically, O'Sullivan examines his ideas and attitudes towards his men, the Pacific Islanders, sex, God and death, in the context of the ideas and conflicts of the turbulent eighteenth century.
