Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before by Tony Horwitz

4.0

Horwitz tells the story of Captain Cook's three Pacific voyages by following the explorer's path. He intersperses Cook's story with his own adventure. He was usually accompanied by his hilarious, and often drunk, friend Roger, who always serves to make the story more entertaining. The story of Captain Cook's voyages is enthralling and Horwitz's exploration of the state of those places today (including what the locals think about Cook now) is equally fascinating.
