Book review in Dutch daily De Volkskrant

In a review, the liberal Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant called ‘De droom van Den Haag’ an ‘extraordinarily lively and well documented book’.

‘In “De droom van Den Haag”, Benjamin Duerr refuses to abandon the hope for a more peaceful future’, Jan Tromp writes in a book review.

He confirms the relevance of the Hague Peace Conference and highlights that it would be too simple to regard as naive the efforts to build peace. ‘Duerr doesn’t like to give up, he concludes his book with a passionate plea for hope and expectations instead of bitter cynicism.’
