Nice and compact. You get your answers to NL/BE separation, Golden age,slavery, Indonesia, Surinam, Dutch Republic becoming a kingdom again…

Concise history book covering various life aspects that come along with historical milestones.
I personally wish the author treated more contemporary history.
Details are missing. Thus, I would only recommend for those without prior knowledge of the history of the Netherlands or the countries surrounding it.

A good overview of Dutch history. The modern section (WW2 on) is a little rushed, but this book is a good starting point for further reading.

This is a good overview of Dutch history for beginners.

It usefully fills you in on the history of the country without necessitating a multi-tome dive-in, but it needs more proofreading as the punctuation is odd and the wrong word is sometimes used.
