The wide wide sea imperial ambition, first contact and the fateful final voyage of Captain James Cook

Sides, Hampton. (Author).

Part high-seas adventure, part examination of the Age of Exploration, this account of Captain James Cook's last voyage in 1776 charts how his overt and covert missions came to a head on the island of Hawaii and left behind a complex and controversial legacy still debated to this day.
