Book Reviews of The Betrayal of Liliuokalani: Last Queen of Hawaii 1838-1917
Book Review: Complex and Fascinating Lili'uokalani
Summary: 5 Stars
Exhaustively researched, written very well, with enough respect while still maintaining an historian's eye, this biography is a testament to Queen Lili'uokalani's brief reign as Hawaii's last monarch. Entrusted with Lili'uokalani's story by the Queen's hanai daughter, the author does not pull any punches and gives a really detailed look not only of the culture of the Hawaiian islands at the time, but the political tidal wave building thanks to the haole's who took over the land. The result is a beautifully balanced portrait of a Queen who loved her people, loved her land, but was powerless against the forces she faced. Lili'uokalani, in the end, was a dignified, peaceful compassionate ruler who had her flaws. In short, the author not only creates a vivid biography of a queen, but also of a human being struggling to do what was right for her people and her Kingdom.
