Review
Larry Kwiatkowski from Honolulu, Hawai`i, June 14, 1998
A beautiful and heartfelt account of tragedy.
Hawai`i's Story by Hawai`i's Queen Lili`uokalani details an account of the heartache and tragedy of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy by the Committee of Safety (Missionary Party) in the late 1800s. Written in the Victorian style of the times by the queen herself, her account shows she was very well aware that she and her people were doomed. Lili`uokalani proves herself a very dignified and regal lady, every inch a queen. Highly recommended reading for the real facts of this tragic period of Hawaiian history.

Reviews Herb Kawainui Kane, artist/historian Burl Burlingame, author and historian Chuck Freedman, Honolulu Advertiser
A.A. Smyser, Contributing Editor, Honolulu Star-Bulletin
"... moves to center stage an American well-known for many other things, but seldom connected with Hawaiian history -- Theodore Roosevelt ..."
"Tom Coffman has gone on a far-reaching treasure hunt for long-buried facts, revealing for the first time the full array of events and shifting international forces that led to the overthrow and annexation of the Kingdom of Hawaii ... not to be missed ... "
"Astronomers peer into the daunting depths of space, attempting to find black holes ... historians like Tom Coffman are looking backward, only a century, and see a black hole blanking out the events of 1898."
"The book answers big questions. Were the overthrow and annexation isolated events, idiosyncratic to an island nation? Or were the events an outgrowth of American manifest destiny? What were the international implications? Who were the key players, here, and in Washington? What drove them and what were the interrelationships?"

The author, P. Christiaan Klieger , February 17, 1999
Moku`ula island was a traditional center of power in Hawaii.
In the early nineteenth century, Lahaina, Maui was the capital of the Hawaiian kingdom. From the tiny island of Moku`ula, surrounded by a large fishpond in Lahaina, kings chose to rule their vast island nation. This is a story of that sacred place, which was also the home of a powerful protector deity, the lizard goddess Kihawahine. This is a story how Western contact and its imposed changes were inscribed on the traditional patterns of Native Hawaiian governance, religion, and society.

Around the World With a King
by William N. Armstrong, Introduction by Glen Grant
Our Price: $5.95 + $1.85 special surcharge
Paperback (May 1995)
Mutual Pub Co; ISBN: 156647017X
A fascinating travelogue of the first monarch to circumnavigate the globe, as Kalakaua sought to increase the strength of Hawaii's international recognition. His Majesty was received graciously and ceremoniously in many nations from Asia to Europe, and impressed all those he met with his eloquence and charisma. The narrative is written by a non-Hawaiian minister who accompanied the King on his travels, and in his own biases against the Polynesian worldview he further reveals some of the dynamics at work toward the end of the de facto sovereignty of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Review
Serge Kahili King (shaman@aloha.net) from Kauai, Hawaii , October 23, 1998
This is the standard for Hawaiian language studies. No other Hawaiian dictionary even approaches its depth and scope. However, users should note that this revised edition contains a few significant changes from the previous edition in the meanings given to some words.
