Why the Dutch are Different: A Journey into the Hidden Heart of the Netherlands by Ben Coates

2.0

The best way to really get to know the Netherlands as seen through the eyes of a British guy living in Rotterdam. As a true Dutchie I've always struggled with clichés about Amsterdam (drugs, prostitution); knowing that Holland is so much more than freedom and cheap fun. Today's Dutch cultural heritage is a result of our Golden Age (17th century), oppression in a harmful second world war, a battle against the water and much more. For the real fans of Holland this is a great way to find out more in a fun written story.
