Going Dutch: How England Plundered Holland's Glory – An Early Modern History of Cultural and Intellectual Supremacy

In Going Dutch, renowned writer Lisa Jardine tells the remarkable history of the relationship between England and Holland, two of Europe€s most important colonial powers at the dawn of the modern age. Jardine, the author of The Awful End of Prince William the Silent, demonstrates that England€s rise did not come at the expense of the Dutch as is commonly thought, but was actually a €œhanding on€ of the baton of cultural and intellectual supremacy to a nation expanding in international power and influence.
