New York: Knopf, Date: 1977. First American Edition. fair. 25 cm, 745 pages, maps, some damp damage and cover wear/staining, text pages generally okay. This is a tale of a once-powerful nation's desparate struggle to survive the treacheries and brutality of European war and politics. Between 1780 and 1813 the Dutch Republic - a country once rich enough to be called the cash till of Europe and powerful enough to make war with England - was stripped of its colonies, invaded by its enemies, driven to the edge of bankruptcy, and, finally, reduced to becoming an appendage of the French empire - an appendage not even the French seemed to value overmuch.

Simon Michael Schama, CBE (born 13 February 1945) is an English historian specializing in Dutch history, and French history. He is a University Professor of History and Art History at Columbia University, New York. He first came to popular public attention with his history of the French Revolution titled ...
