The Netherlands in a Nutshell: Highlights from Dutch History and Culture Reviews
-
This is a compact book which calls itself the “canon” of the Netherlands. Each entry is two pages with 2-3 illustrations and a description of a pivotal moment or innovation in history. It includes website links and places to visit. At the end, the authors explain how to use the book on a classroom. A good little overview before travel. It begins with megalithic tombs and ends with the Eurozone.

A very short but concise review of the Dutch history. It skips many details, but its organization makes it easy to follow and it's full of references for further learning.
It is a good small book, but only as an introductory vision to the History of the Netherlands. -
Easy to read, short but clear. The photographs and illustrations are quite interesting too. A nice reading material for a ten-minute-session in the loo.
