Summary

Hawaiian Overthrow delves into the complex history of how the Kingdom of Hawaii, a sovereign nation with a rich cultural heritage, was overthrown and annexed by the United States. This book explores the confluence of economic interests, political maneuvering, and cultural clashes that led to the ousting of Queen Liliuokalani in 1893 and the subsequent formal annexation in 1898. Readers will gain insight into the strategic importance of Hawaii during a time of American expansionism, understanding how a small group of American and European businessmen prioritized their interests over Hawaiian sovereignty.

 
The narrative progresses chronologically, starting with pre-overthrow Hawaii, detailing its culture and governance. It then analyzes the rise of the sugar industry and the increasing power of American planters and culminates with the events of the overthrow, the establishment of the provisional government, and the long-term consequences of annexation.

 
The book emphasizes that the annexation was not inevitable but resulted from deliberate actions, challenging traditional narratives that portray American expansion as wholly benevolent.

    A writer may have a story to tell, a sense of plot, and strong characters, but for all of these to come together some key questions must be answered. What form should the narrator take? An omniscient, invisible force, or one—or more—of the characters? But in what voice, and from what vantage point? How to decide? Avoiding prescriptive instructions or arbitrary rules, Christopher Castellani brilliantly examines the various ways writers have solved the crucial point-of-view problem. By unpacking the narrative strategies at play in the work of writers as different as E. M. Forster, Grace Paley, and Tayeb Salih, among many others, he illustrates how the author's careful manipulation of distance between narrator and character drives the story. An insightful work by an award-winning novelist and the artistic director of GrubStreet, The Art of Perspective is a fascinating discussion on a subject of perpetual interest to any writer.

    Amidst the turmoil of the Secret War in Laos, Toua, a young Hmong boy of just ten years finds himself torn from the embrace of his family, catapulted into a world far beyond the innocence of childhood. This memoir unfolds the harrowing and inspirational journey of resilience and survival against the backdrop of a conflict that most weren’t aware of, where the Hmong people stood alongside Americans in the shadows of the Vietnam War. 
Hidden within the unforgiving jungle's embrace, the boy finds solace and an unexpected sense of belonging among the Hmong Freedom Fighters. Together, they navigate the perilous terrain of warfare, where each day brings with it the heavy burden of survival and the haunting question of morality in the face of relentless danger. Despite the camaraderie and purpose he finds, the boy is plagued by an unyielding yearning for his family and a sense of displacement, his soul marred by the trials of war and the difficult tasks demanded of him. 
At his lowest, contemplating the escape of death over the pain of existence, a glimmer of unwavering hope and the dream of family reunion guides him through the darkness. The North Star, known as the Bright Star to the Hmong, a beacon amidst the chaos, becomes his guide, steering him through his treacherous journey towards refuge, and ultimately, to the shores of America. 
This memoir is more than a tale of survival; it's a testament to the indomitable spirit of a young boy thrust into the maelstrom of war. It's a story of the unbreakable bonds of family, the transformative power of hope, and the relentless resilience of the human spirit. Through the eyes of a child, we witness the cost of freedom, the price of survival, and the enduring strength of the human heart.

    Fairlie's Secret War - How One...

    During the Second World War the Royal Navy's vitally important Anti-submarine Experimental Establishment was secretly moved from Portland in Dorset to the Ayrshire village of Fairlie, to escape German bombing on the south coast. For the next six years it occupied the boatyard of yacht builder William Fife on the Firth of Clyde. During this time, highly confidential world-leading research on the acoustic detection of submarines by asdic – now known as sonar – was carried out by hundreds of scientists, officers and local men and women based at Fairlie. As experiments took place into new ways of sinking German U-boats, the peace of the quiet village was shattered. Winston Churchill described the work done at Fairlie as critical to winning the Battle of the Atlantic and ultimately the war. The research remained relevant to anti-submarine warfare long after the war, and is still relevant today.
Fairlie's role in the war was not disclosed until relatively recently. Highly illustrated throughout and making use of previously unpublished material, this book tells the full story of the establishment at Fairlie for the first time. It describes the impact it had on local people, and their relationship with the naval officers and scientists who came to work there.
Winner of the John Strawhorn Memorial Quaich, awarded by the Ayrshire Federation of Historical Societies 'to an individual or group who is judged to have made an outstanding contribution to the local history of Ayrshire'.
