Since its release in late 2002, the book has continued to fuel debate about the way Tonga is governed by providing a window through which we can see behind the kingdom’s friendly facade. Obviously the book isn’t a favourite reading in Tonga’s royal palace and in the months that followed its release no effort was spared by the kingdom to strike back.&nbsp;</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={Pacific Journalism Review : Te Koakoa}, author={Moala, Jale}, year={2003}, month={Sep.}, pages={183-186} }
