"Tu"
By Patricia Grace
University of Hawaii Press, $16
|
|
New Zealand's noted Maori author turns her attention to the young natives who fought for the Empire in World War II. Grace is a little shaky on the military end, but her sense of character is as strong as ever.
"America's First -- Chinese Americans and the Second World War"
By K. Scott Wong
Harvard University Press, $29.95
|
|
While American eyes were focused on Europe, Chinese-Americans (and some Japanese-Americans) were already at odds in the Far East. This is a rich subject and Wong's overview just touches the surface.
"The Contemporary Pacific"
University of Hawaii Press, $35
|
|
This journal of scholarly abstracts covering all manner of Pacific affairs. In other words, "Zzzzzzzz."
"Deadly Wager"
By Elaine Hatfield and Richard L. Rapson

A noirish mystery by UH professors. Will we be tested?
