Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Fred Filbrich's narration is nothing short of brilliant in 'The Dutch Moment.' His clear and energetic voice brings the historical figures and events vividly to life. The pacing is perfect; it never drags despite covering a vast span of time and space, keeping you captivated throughout. Klooster’s analysis of economic, political, and social dynamics of Dutch colonialism is particularly insightful, but his exploration of the ethical implications is somewhat lacking, making for an uneven review. Nonetheless, this audiobook stands out as a must-listen for anyone interested in early American history or colonial empires.
