Good day, Thomas Jefferson, our podcast listeners, and as always, thank you so much for listening.

This week, a very interesting conversation with one of our favorite guests, David Nakandri,

talking about his new book on Captain Cook.

Oh, amazing.

You know, he's been such a friend of mine and such a friend to you and such a friend

released in November of 2020 by the University of British Columbia Press, four to 34 pages.

It's an account of the third and least understood, least written about voyage of the three great

oceanic voyages of British Captain James Cook.

And, you know, he never disappoints, does he?

And Nakandri is a unique individual.

It's always fun to talk to him and to listen to him talk about Captain Cook, of course.

And he, he defends Captain Cook when necessary, but it's a, it's a fascinating story.

His courage is something that I find really remarkable, David, because if you think there's

And the last chapter of this book, Captain Cook, rediscovered, looks at the, what might

be called the postmodern reaction.

And I think he quotes somebody who's saying, no one, no historical figures reputation

has plummeted so far, so fast as that of James Cook.
