This is part two of a set of books that are quite remarkable.  Many people are not aware that Hawaii is a "stolen nation."  It has been stolen not once, but twice.  The British took the islands by force in 1843, but the British Crown restored the Hawaiian Kingdom almost immediately.  Then, in 1893, the United States also took the Kingdom by force.   But this time, it was not returned.  This event is known in Hawaii as simply, "The Overthrow."

This well-written book explains what happened, gives the text of President Cleveland's message to Congress recommending the restoration of the Kingdom, discusses the fate of Hawaii and Hawaiians under non-Hawaiian rule and explains the current sovereignty movement and what possible forms sovereignty could take.

An excellent book.
