Hawaii's Story by Liliuokalani

A first-person memoir and history that recounts the rise and fall of the Hawaiian monarchy, detailing political intrigue, the illegal overthrow, and the subsequent loss of sovereignty and cultural autonomy; it mixes personal reminiscence, documentary evidence, and moral appeal to the reader while describing native customs, the author's efforts to defend her people and throne, and a plea for justice and recognition of Hawaiian rights.
