Description: This collection of twenty-nine oral histories helps preserve Hawaii's social and cultural history through the narratives of the people who lived it - co-workers, neighbours, family members and friends. These stories introduce the reader to the sights and sounds of territorial Waikiki, to the feeling of community in Palama, in Kona or on the island of Lana'i, and even to the experience of a German national interned by the military government after Pearl Harbour.
