Holland at War Against Hitler

First Published in 1990. The conference on Anglo-Dutch relations from 1940 to 1945 held at University College London on 3 4 and 5 April 1989 covered a part - not the least interesting nor the simplest part - of the diplomatic and military history of the world war against Nazi Germany and imperial Japan. The historical context of Anglo-Dutch relations close since the fall of the Roman Empire bears setting out at the start. The papers that follow are printed almost as they were delivered at a conference attended by a mixture of scholars teachers diplomats journalists students and retired warriors; of ages as diverse as their experiences; many of whom already knew each other.
