4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent comprehensive summary of the Dutch occupation,
This review is from: A Concise History of Dutch Mauritius, 1598-1711 (Hardcover)
This slim volume allows readers to understand the events and context of the Dutch possession, settlement and colonisation of Mauritius. It is clear, simply written and perceptive. It contains many new, previously unpublished facts about the colonisation, including the records of living dodos decades after they were thought to already to be extinct. A good read. Essential reading for anyone with more than a passing interest in the first century of Mauritius' history.
