Great writing, thinking of the sheer logistics involved made me respect this daunting process as much as the building of the pyramids( though I did know about the Dutch and their dykes previously).
Incredibly under-rated people, the Dutch - Anglo history seems to have largely forgotten our huge debt for considerable parts of modernity as we now enjoy it.
Great article!
Thanks!
Not a topic I've given much thought to before, but this was a delightful compelling read, full of drama and human spirit!
