: Hawaiian monarchy by Stephen R. Bunford

: (http://www.wordclay.com) and available on
: Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk

: This comprehensive study of the Hawaiian
: monarchy is a compelling account of the
: years from 1810-1893, detailing the many
: different characters who ruled the kingdom.
: It examines the external influences that
: contributed to the end of their rule, whilst
: also looking at Hawaiian culture and the
: impact that western influences, such as
: Christianity, had on the rulers. Importantly
: it explores the monarch's own characters,
: their lives, their loves, their ambitions,
: how they ruled, how they lost the throne and
: the influences their descendants still have
: today in Hawaii.
