"In the second volume, 'Twenty Critical Years,' the author deals with the middle period of the Kingdom's history, when Hawaii was trying to ensure her independence while world powers maneuvered for dominance in the Pacific. It was an important period with distinct and well-marked characteristics, but the noteworthy changes and advances which occurred have received less attention from students of history than they deserve. Much of the material is taken from manuscript sources and appears in print for the first time in the second volume." [Amazon]
