This study investigates a less-than-wholesome chapter in capitalism's early manifestation in the Dutch Republic and its seventeenth-century global economic entanglements in the arms trade and mercenary warfare, showing how the Dutch accumulation of great wealth was closely linked to their involvement in warfare at home and far abroad.

Russia and the Dutch Republic, 1566-1725: A Forgotten Friendship outlines how the Netherlands had an outsized impact on the early development of Russia into a Great Power in the course of the seventeenth century.

The first full-length biography of the man once believed to be a likely candidate to succeed Josef Stalin

Investigations of Stalin's regime have usually concentrated on events in Moscow, Leningrad, and some of the rapidly developing industrial centres of the Soviet Union. In contrast, Kees Boterbloem provides an unprecedented look at the lives of Russians in a typical province which has remained largely unnoticed in Soviet, post-Soviet, and Western studies of these years even though developments in this province are emblematic of those in the Sovi...
