Who was the real Captain James Cook?

Masterful storyteller Peter Fitzsimons is well placed to set the record straight in his new book, James Cook: The Story Behind the Man Who Mapped the World. 

With his passion for telling Australian stories – of great men and women, of stirring events in our history – Fitzsimons details how a farm boy from Yorkshire accomplished great feats of navigation and exploration.

Peter Fitzsimons is Australia’s bestselling non-fiction writer, author of the wildly popular Kokoda, Gallipoli, Burke and Wills and Monash’s Masterpiece, as well as biographies of Sir Douglas Mawson, Nancy Wake and Nick Farr-Jones. For 30 years he has written for the Sydney Morning Herald and the Sun-Herald.
