5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful and heartfelt account of tragedy., June 14, 1998

By	Larry Kwiatkowski (onipaa@onipaa.com) (Honolulu, Hawai`i) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "An Unusual Woman" as she was known by some...very moving..., July 4, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hawaii's Story by Hawaii's Queen (American Biography Series) (Hardcover)

You are there with her in her emotions as you read the accurate accounts from her own words. Who can deny the facts coming from a book written by our beloved Queen Lili`uokalani herself? An incredible woman, faced in a powerless state of being...A Queen of Hearts...

5.0 out of 5 stars Black Moment in American History, October 19, 2007

By	James J. Varela (Sarasota, FL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hawaii's Story (Paperback)

This is the only book you will ever need to read on the 1893 fall of the Hawaiian Kingdom. Incredible that after over 100 years this book along with the Blount report to Congress remain the only true and unbaised account of the 1893 fall of the Hawaiian Kingdom. LILIUOKALANI was a highly regal & educated woman of grace. She was a far kinder and wiser ruler than her famous brother King Kalakua although in her lifetime this was not viewed as true. Her overthrow and name is used today by many ugly racist elements in Hawaii which I doubt she would have approved of. I personally would like to think she would be proud of modern Hawaii and the role all races played in it's development.
