Summary "...This book ... provides a historical perspective of Fijian struggles to maintain control over their land, people, and independence. It provides another side of the story and a better understanding of why Colonel (now Major General) Sitiveni Rabuka acted as he did and why, in doing so, he received overwhelming support of the Great Council of Chiefs, the highest forum pertaining to Fijian affairs." -- Back cover
