Description: In a style that is more detective story than conventional biography, Williams explores the multiple narratives of Cook's death. In short, Williams examines the story of Cook's progress from obscurity to fame and, eventually, to infamy--a story that, until now, has never been fully told.

Brief description: Glyn Williams is Emeritus Professor of History at Queen Mary University of London.

Review Quotes: The book is an intriguing study of a fascinating subject.--George Cohen "Booklist" (12/1/2008 12:00:00 AM)
