My Grandfather and how to start a war with China by Bram Gieben

My Dutch grandfather had a remarkable career, first in the law, then in colonial government, then as an ambassador; later on he was prominent in the rebuilding of Holland after the war, serving for a time as head of the police force, and then was put in charge of rebuilding roads and waterways, including the reclamation of land flooded by the bombing of the dams in the war.
