## Description

The Netherlands is known among foreigners today for its cheese and its windmills, its Golden Age paintings and its experimentation in social policies such as cannabis and euthanasia. Yet the historical background for any of these quintessentially Dutch achievements is often unfamiliar to outsiders. This Concise History offers an overview of this surprisingly little-known but fascinating country. Beginning with the first humanoid settlers, the book follows the most important contours of Dutch history, from Roman times through to the Habsburgs, the Dutch Republic and the Golden Age. The author, a modernist, pays particularly close attention to recent developments, including the signature features of contemporary Dutch society. In addition to being a political history, this overview also gives systematic attention to social and economic developments, as well as in religion, the arts and the Dutch struggle against the water. The Dutch Caribbean is also included in the narrative.

Review: Curiosity of Netherlands History. - Very interesting book. Gives plenty of details on the formation of the Netherlands. I enjoyed reading it. Satisfied my curiosity of Dutch ancestry and what they went through to become a country.
Review: Good book but horrible on-demand printing - Very good book but the print quality (desertcart on-demand printing) is an insult for this price. Pages are falling out literally the moment you grab the book.
