Reviews

"Anyone with an interest in Dutch political history will enjoy this book. It does not only offer a novel take, but it is also engagingly written, filled with interesting anecdotes and vivid descriptions. As such, the book is much more accessible than many academic texts that sometimes lose their punch in the weeds of academic jargon, theorization, and methodological reflections."
- Edward Anthony Koning, Canadian Journal of Netherlandic Studies, Vol. 42, Iss. 1
