"A masterwork which covers a lot of aspects of the Dutch republic before, during and after its golden age. I'm from Holland myself and picked this book up because I find a lot of people don't have a clue about their country's history and I'm happy I did so.
The author focuses not only on politics and warfare, but also on art, religion, the various institutions, the role citizens and militia played, nobels, and economics. It's very clever written and very, very broad in context.
After reading this book you're more able to place art, architecture, etc. in a better context and get a better grasp on contemporary institutions and the way politics work. Also it gives a better view on early modern history in Europe and the powers which played a role in establishing the sociaties we enjoy today and their relationships."
"I read this book with a group of colleagues as we continue to update and change our curriculum for a course in European History and Literature. We have found the information enormously helpful, even though we will not include all of the detail. Israel excels at the cause and effect nature of history and the relevance of the Dutch in the development of European history. I have but one negative comment. The text is rife with superfluous commas that often confuse the reader and generally detract from the clarity of the information. The editors really needed to do a more thorough job."
"I am not an historian, but a sociologist, so I don't pretend to give a professional view of this book. Modern European history is just a hobby for me. The following is thus not more than a laymans opinion. For a Dutchman it is interesting to read what a foreign expert has observed about ones own country and whether they have anything new to add. The British have a good reputation in writing about the Netherlands. I had already the pleasure to read the books by Schama (Embarassment of riches), Parker (The Dutch revolt) and Boxer (the Dutch seaborne empire) all dealing with about the same period in history as Israel covers. Each of those historians added essential data and insights to that what I read from Dutch/Belgian historians, but the scope and depth of Israels book tops all. I recommend it warmly to the professional and the layman alike. I am glad I ordered it and want to compliment Alibris that they had it in stock."
