Reviews

C.J. Weeks:
Howard's book is the best and most lucidly written account of the background and events of the Fijian coup to date.

Umendra Singh:
The book, Fiji, Race and Politics in an Island State is excellent reading material for those who want to find out what went wrong in an island paradise. It is no doubt the best book written on the 1987 crisis in Fiji ... Even those who do not have the remotest idea where Fiji is or what it is, will nonetheless find the book interesting reading because of the political dramas it describes.

Robert Norton:
Acompelling narrative with care and clarity. His book is recommended as one of the most considered and reliable accounts among the many now available on the first coup d'etat in the Pacific Islands.
