"In search of the Friendly Islands lifts the lid on many contemporary social issues and dilemmas facing South Pacific nations. The issues that led to the unprecedented explosion of violence on 16 November 2006 that resulted in the deaths of eight people and the destruction of 80 percent of the central business district of the Tongan capital, Nuku'alofa, are among topics explored by the book." -- Publisher's website.
