A Short History of Amsterdam A Short History of Amsterdam

by Roegholt, Dr. Richter

A city of paradoxes, and since the late 1500s the epicentre of the Netherlands. During much of the 17th century the city played a dominant role in world affairs as well. Long a global financial centre, it continues to be a cultural weathervane for the country and far beyond. This book does not answer every question the reader may have but certainly enhances knowledge and appreciation for a city, which so often is a point of reference in debates over new developments in attitudes and thought. Perhaps the title should have read “A Short History of the Most Fascinating City.”

Hardcover, 151 pages, richly illustrated, a brief historical chronology
