Overview

One of Britain's most important explorers and cartographers, Captain James Cook led three voyages to the Pacific Ocean in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. In this epic reexamination of Cook's final voyage, Sides traces the captain's routes and highlights his strange shift in character and behavior that may have contributed to his unexpected death by native Hawaiians.
