Welcome to the tenth episode of Speaking to the Dead. Where Doug Rooney and Will Stafford read historic texts and put them in conversation with the modern-day. The only rule: the author must be dead!

In this episode we interrogate Kamaahmaah about his military prowess in the takeover of the whole of Hawaii, uniting the kingdoms under his rule. We also wonder about his change in tone to King George as he become more secure in his position.
