"A Footnote to History: Eight Years of Trouble in Samoa" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical work published in 1892. After settling in Samoa in 1889, Stevenson witnessed the island nation's civil war firsthand, where competing Samoan factions clashed amid interference from three global powers—the United States, Germany, and Britain. His account proved so controversial it led to official recalls and nearly resulted in his own deportation from the islands he
had come to call home. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
