"[This book] tells the story of the development of Samoa's unique system of governance, and of those who have fought for power and shaped the development of the Independent State of Såamoa, from first settlement through German colonisation and New Zealand's administration, to indigenous governance, including the hard-fought 2021 General Election and its dramatic outcome."--
