Rulers of Paradise: The Kings and Queens of Tahiti
The Kingdom of Tahiti was one of the most important Polynesian kingdoms until her demise under France's Republican system. Ruled by the Pomare dynasty, the five monarchs of Tahiti were the most important rulers in the central pacific and one of three internationally important Oceanic monarchies along with Hawaii and Tonga.
Their rule over Tahiti saw many important changes and transformations as well as increasingly important relations with both France and Britain. From Tahiti the French would eventually go on to unify The Society Islands, Tuamotus, Marquesas, Australs and Gambiers into one polity: French Polynesia. Without the rule of the Pomare's this would have proved impossible.

An Excellent History of A Little Known Place
An excellent book, but it was too short.I would love to have learned about the the activities in the Tahiti area during WW 2.
