Book Description
Dynamite on the Tropic of Cancer is the radical, explosive retelling of the first decade of the 'Father of Modern China' Dr Sun Yatsen’s globally shaped formation as a professional revolutionist, and of the impact of the adult Sun’s revolutionary relationship with Hawaiʻi and with his varied communities of supporters there during its own most turbulent political decade, the 1890s, years in which this remote island nation transformed from native monarchy, via sovereign independent republic, to become the USA’s first overseas territory. Drawn from neglected primary sources, Dynamite reveals the hitherto untold story of the secret revolutionary alliance forged in Honolulu’s backstreets between Sun’s Xingzhonghui and the idiosyncratic italophile soldier Robert Wilcox, "Hawaiʻi’s Garibaldi" and leader of the Kanaka/Native Hawaiian counterrevolution of January 1895. This failed uprising to restore Hawaiʻi’s tragic last Queen, witnessed firsthand by Sun Yatsen, became the archetype upon which ten months later Sun would base his own first attempt at armed insurrection in China: the Canton uprising of 26 October 1895. With an epic sweep across the Pacific’s Tropic of Cancer, Dynamite is the most important study yet written on the origins of Sun Yatsen’s Chinese Revolution and its dynamic interface with Hawaiian history.

Book Description
"Honolulu is not a diary, not even a rewritten 'journal.' It is an autobiography, and surely one of the most interesting of its kind--richly embroidered reminiscences of a continuously eventful period in the history of the Hawaiian kingdom--a monarchy that was fully constituted only eighteen years before Mrs. Judd reached the Islands, and endured only twenty-one years after her death in 1872. With her husband, Dr. Gerrit P. Judd, she was a faithful and hard-working member of the missionary community from 1828 to 1842, when he separated from the mission to labor for the Hawaiian government ; and for eleven years after that she had exceptional opportunities to observe from inside the strains and stresses that beset the kingdom."--Historical introduction, page xv
