Reviews

A fascinating story of a monument hidden in plain sight. --Alexander Nemerov, author of Soulmaker: The Times of Lewis Hine For my country, the Netherlands Carillon is a symbol of gratitude for the role the US played during and after World War II. It's a beacon of the lasting friendship between our countries that goes back more than 400 years. Studying the origin of the carillon serves as a constant reminder that we need to cherish this relationship, and I welcome the effort Diederik Oostdijk undertook to shine new light on this historic monument that stands tall over Washington, D.C. --Henne Schuwer, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the USA
