In this effortlessly erudite account, Russell Shorto traces the
evolution of one of the world's greatest cities. From the building
of its first canals in the 1300s, through the brutal struggle for
Dutch independence and its golden age as the capital of a vast
empire, to its complex present in which its cherished ideals of
liberalism are under siege, Shorto provides an ever-surprising,
intellectually entertaining story of Amsterdam. He also weaves in
his own experiences of his adopted home. In the end, "Amsterdam" is
an endlessly captivating portrait of a city that has profoundly
influenced the modern world.
