«80 jaar oorlog: De geboorte van Nederland» is the historical essay by Gijs van der Ham, published by Atlas Contact in paperback (319 pages, in Dutch).
Gijs van der Ham analyzes the Eighty Years' War (1568-1648) and how the revolt and civil war divided the Netherlands: the north became independent and the south remained under Spanish rule. Through objects, artworks and testimonies, the book addresses tolerance, religious freedom and identity, and connects that past with the present.
Work linked to the Rijksmuseum exhibition and the NTR series, with essays by Judith Pollmann and Peter Vandermeersch.
Will appeal to those wanting to learn how the Eighty Years' War shaped the present-day Netherlands and Belgium.
