The narrative explores the 1893 overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom by a coalition of white planters and missionaries, supported by the U.S. government. It highlights the resistance efforts led by deposed Queen Lili'uokalani, including her lobbying in Washington, D.C., and the subsequent imprisonment of her supporters after a failed insurrection. The author challenges the prevailing myths surrounding the annexation, revealing how influential Americans conspired to undermine Hawaiian sovereignty in pursuit of imperial expansion.
