TAKING HAWAII TELLS NEVER BEFORE TOLD TALE
TAKING HAWAII: How Thirteen Honolulu Businessmen Overthrew the Hawaiian Monarchy in 1893, With a Bluff, has now been released by E-Reads of New York, as an e-book and print-on demand paperback.
Stephen spent many years researching this revealing book, discovering that the military coup that toppled Queen Liliuokalani, and resulted in Hawaii becoming a US territory and ultimately a US state, was led in its final stages by an Australian born in the same place as Stephen. Even one of the key architects of the coup was to marvel that it actually succeeded.
Jude for yourself whether the queen was wrong, or wronged. To obtain the book telling the full, true, dramatic tale, told from all sides, visit ereads.com, or Amazon.com, Barnes&Noble.com, and other leading online book retailers.
