Good book

Murder In Amsterdam by Ian Buruma, 2007 is an excellent book, very well written. He takes a comprehensive look at what was going on around Theo van Gogh in 2004 (shot and stabbed on an Amsterdam street by a young Moroccan radical)

Buruma returned to the Netherlands to write this book, after 30 years of working away. His parents were English (German/Jewish) and Dutch. His perspective is interesting.
