Unfamiliar Fishes, by Sarah Vowell, is a very basic history of Hawaii. If you want to get a flavor of Hawaiian history without delving into longer, more dense tomes, then this is the book for you.
That said, Vowell has a weird and goofy narrative voice. This voice gets a bit less daft as the book progresses, but never really goes away; it makes you feel less than intelligent.
