The death of Captain Cook : a hero made and unmade
Williams, Glyndwr2008
Books, Manuscripts
This interpretation of Cook's life and death by a historian of marine exploration argues that the circumstances and reporting of his death are the key to his reputation. For many years he enjoyed unparalleled status as 'the pride of his century'. His progress from obscurity to fame and then, for some, to infamy, is told in this book.
