This work offers a modern, integrated outline of Dutch history, from the period in which the country took shape as a geographical, administrative and political entity, and undermines the presumption since the 16th century it has been characterised by political consensus and religious toleration. Domestic and foreign politics take pride of place, interwoven with the broad lines of economic and cultural developments, as Friso Wielenga uses the Netherlands' geographical location and its international relations to better understand its sometimes tumultuous past and present.
