In the century from the death of Captain James Cook in 1779 to the rise of the sugar plantations in the 1870s, thousands of Kanaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) men left Hawai‘i to work on ships at sea and in na ‘aina ‘e (foreign lands)—on the Arctic Ocean and throughout the Pacific Ocean, and in the equatorial islands and California. Beyond Hawai‘i tells the stories of these forgotten indigenous workers and how their labor shaped the Pacific World, the global economy, and the environment. Whether harvesting sandalwood or bird guano, hunting whales, or mining gold, these migrant workers were essential to the expansion of transnational capitalism and global ecological change. Bridging American, Chinese, and Pacific historiographies, Beyond Hawai‘i is the first book to argue that indigenous labor—more than the movement of ships and spread of diseases—unified the Pacific World.

While the United States debates the best way to solve the situation in Iraq, the terrorists are claiming victory and planning to take their show to American soil once again.Drawing from extensive interviews with prime ministers, CIA directors, and other insiders, Evans looks at the history and ideology behind the Islamic revolution to explore its very real threat to U.S. interests —why radical Islamic terrorists will only step back when they fear us, why victory in Iraq is important to U.S. security, why the United States and Israel cannot sit idly by and let Iran achieve its desire for nuclear weapons, and why stabilization in Iraq now would sound defeat rather than victory.The Final Move Beyond Iraq is a wake-up call to mobilize millions to action.

America is fighting for its life in the first war of the twenty-first century. The battle is for the soul of America, and ground zero is Iraq.

In The Final Move Beyond Iraq, best-selling author Mike Evans gives us a wake up call, demonstrating conclusively that: ·An Islamic revolution is spreading and is on the brink of becoming America's greatest threat since the Civil War. ·Immediate withdrawal from Iraq would be disastrous and will embolden terrorists to attack America at home. ·Iran is playing a major role in the current violence. ·The U.S. must strike Iran within the next twelve months, or the next President may be presiding over a nuclear 9/11. American soldiers are risking their lives for our freedom. We must see this war through to the end--or our next battle will be much, much worse.
