Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-31 00:00:00 Shajron Sharp A people prefers self-exile to slavery; and an illustrious house that seldom fails the naiton. It's interesting to read about the ups-and-downs of this small country, prospering when it insisted on independence, degrading when it succumbed to seemingly superior power. The power of a people to decide the destiny of a nation. It's intriguing to learn about the impact the illustrious house of Orange brings. How the ambition of Maurise overgrew to turn against his people and endanger the nation; and later how the country was near to being ruined after the stadholder left to leave the nation completely to states-general. The Netherlands is always held to be a country of high tolerance and open mind. Some people (mistakenly) interpret that as lack of principle. They couldn't be more wrong. It's quite clear when we look at the brief description of the religious orientation of William of Orange: His whole public conduct seems to prove that he viewed sectarian principles chiefly in the light of political instruments; and that, himself a conscientious Christian, in the broad sens of the term, he was deeply imbued with the spirit of universal toleration, and considered the various shades of belief as subservient to the one grand principle of civil and religious liberty, for which he had long devoted and at length laid down his life.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-09-27 00:00:00 Daniel Porras Not wonderfully done A lot of history is covered in varying amounts of detail. Not as coherent a narrative as I had expected. It does a pretty good job of describing what a bright, industrious group of people the Dutch really are. Having been there a few times,I have always been impressed with their many hydraulic capabilities and more nobly how they honor the and open and accepting culture that elevates the Dutch to just a few of the great countries in the world.
