Customer Reviews

History of 19th Century Hawaii

I bought this book as research for a project that I am doing concerning the life of Liliuokalani. Though the book doesn't add much to her story, it contains a wealth of information on the Hawaiian monarchy and the conspiracies that led to it's downfall. This is not an unslanted book. I think that the authors viewpoint is pretty clear throughout. But it is passionately argued and I think hard to refute. Highly recommended for anyone interested in learning more about one of the great injustices of the American 19th century.
