Nation Within: The history of the American occupation of Hawaii - $20.00
Author: Tom Coffman
Publisher: Koa Books
Soft Cover, 347 pages America’s long century of imperial adventures began with the illegal occupation of Hawai‘i. As the nineteenth century waned, Hawai‘i’s missionary descendants and America’s diplomatic representatives incessantly pressured the royal government for ever-increasing control, eventually overthrowing Hawaii’s monarch. In Nation Within, journalist/historian Tom Coffman tells the heartfelt story of Hawaii’s resistance to annexation, both in Washington and Honolulu, and the role of Theodore Roosevelt and others who fueled America’s drive for global power. The Nation Magazine calls Nation Within "the best single book" on America’s occupation of Hawai‘i.
