Perfect book for holiday. Felt meany similarities with Harry Potter, Mathilda,... smart abandoned kids
Wonderful book that every Dutch citizen should read to get a proper understanding of the role before/during/after colonization of Indonesia.
Through this book I got a better insight on the recent history of China and what makes China different from many other nations. Though the book is very objective I missed a bit a critical note. It's a big eye opener that Europe has played such a little role in China's recent history. There was only one paragraph about the European Union.
Very welcome book to anyone who runs a business, wants to run one or is aiming for ‘intrapreneurship' within a larger company. I was always convinced that being small wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but this book gave me more reason to believe and find better ways to run my business.
I learnt a lot. Very happy to have read this clear book. I have summarised the book and my take-aways in this clip (15min):

This book gives better insights on what China wants and how their neighboring countries perceive China. Very helpful to understand how the world is changing.
I could have read this is a day. What a masterpiece. For anyone who wants to learn more what living under Mao was like.
Interesting book on how Nazi germany and its leader was completely under the influence of drugs. Also a reminder that history is not black and white as we tend to make it look.
Helped giving me better insight in modern China and its insane fast rise. It's time to learn mandarin properly.
I knew very little about the Spanish civil war and this book of personal accounts gave me a beautiful insight in what Spain was like in those times. As if I was sitting on grandpa's knee. Amazing tribute to the fallen. Must read.
Great read from a fascinating leader. “I am not political correct, I am correct.” Highly recommended if you want to understand the world a bit better.
