Book Reviews of Shoal of Time: A History of the Hawaiian Islands
Book Review: How and why Hawai'i changed since 'discovery'
Summary: 5 Stars
An excellent writing style by a knowledgable author combine here to give the reader a feeling for how and why Hawai'i moved from isolation to its current status. Rights and wrongs are both well presented leaving one to form their own conclusions as to what led to the nation of Hawai'i to become part of the United States. This is not just the story of that event, but of many events from the time Hawai'i was discovered by the Europeans up through statehood in the US. Highly recommended.
