Broken Waves: A History of the Fiji Islands in the Twentieth Century
by Brij V. Lal
Pacific Islands Monograph Series, No. 11
Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawai‘i
“[A] magisterial history of twentieth-century Fiji.... The historical research is thorough and scrupulous, and the presentation is lucid. Lal brings together a wealth of information, much of it previously unavailable and the earlier available materials often reframed in thought-provoking ways.... Perhaps its greatest strength is that is presents the history of modern Fiji as very complicated and multifaceted.” —The Contemporary Pacific
