Description
The 3 long South Pacific voyages of discovery made by Captain James Cook in 1768, 1772, and 1777 provide the framework for this superb narrative of adventure, courage, endurance and high purpose and their tragic effect - unintended but inevitably - on the original habitation of that hitherto uncharted region.
