A Concise History of the Netherlands

De klemtoon ligt op Nederland post-1600. Dit boek heeft me geholpen de complexe politieke, religieuze en economische geschiedenis van Nederland te begrijpen.

It is exactly what I had hoped it would be.

The author has a very lucid account of my birth country, of which I know very little, being plucked up and moved elsewhere at a tender age after WWII.A well written and comprehensive and engagingly history portrayal of a small country with a vast impact on the history of the world.

A very nice book that is interesting and I enjoyed it very much. There is nothing that I have to say about this book that is bad about it.

If you want broad strokes, microscopic maps, and no colorful, engaging stories, then this is the book for you.
