Description:
This story is a
tragedy... and because of the outcome, it is a difficult read - the
narrative leading toward a no-mans land of compounded injustice. The
story is an important one, however, for losing it would nullify a life
taken of Kahahawai and a lack of justice based on racial and economic
elitism.
The book itself of a well researched historical who,
what, when, where, and how with a bit of editorial thrown in. An editor
would have been helpful as it can be repetitive though it's 1966
publication will allow for a bit of leeway. This book serves as a
standard to tell the story and on which many others are based. It's a
three star book with an added star for importance.
