Summary

"Daws tells Hawaii's sparkling story well." --New York Times Book Review "[This] history is singularly satisfying... told with style and a nice wit." --Publishers Weekly Gavan Daws' remarkable achievement is to free Hawaiian history from the dust of antiquity. Based on years of work in the documentary sources, Shoal of Time emerges as the most readable of all Hawaiian histories.
