The most important work on Hawaiian history to be published in years, this biography of Liliuokalani starkly reveals the usurpation of Hawaii from the native Hawaiians. It is tremendously informative concerning the entire period of missionary and foreign encroachment in the Islands. Liliuokalani's life has never been treated with such authority, accuracy and detail. Based on twelve years of intensive research, including access to documents and accounts hidden from outside eyes for decades, this story is revealing a new side of Hawaiian history for the first time. The secrets and tragedies, joys and accomplishments contained in the lives of the Hawaiian royalty during their years of confrontation with foreigners are illuminated. A sweeping drama of power and grace, The Betrayal of Liliuokalani captures Hawaii as it was - and always will be - in the hearts and minds of those who have tasted the spirit of Aloha.
