Excerpt from jacket: "The Hawaiian Islands: From Monarchy to Democracy tells the dramatic story of an ancient people, isolated for centuries, who were suddenly swept into a world of expanding commercial and colonial enterprise. ... Filled with arresting personalities and happenings as strange and stirring as any in romantic fiction, this is a book to excite the liveliest interest in Hawaii. As a record of steadily strengthening ties between the Islands and the United States of America, it provides invaluable background for an understanding of Hawaii's long struggle for statehood."
