Customer Reviews

Tells important stories from the perspective of the "losers"

Examples: William Penn's dream of a safe haven for religious tolerance vs. the perspective of the Native Americans already in Pennsylvania, who were always "looking east." What really happened to James Cook at Kealakekua Bay, and why.
