📚 My book review of Villa Maarheeze Yes, the Netherlands had its own CIA. Spies and everything. But with about 1% of the necessary budget, and you get a typically Dutch version of it. Always underfunded, more lucky than competent, the IDB was never going to be a great success. This book gives a fascinating insight into the service, it's reason for being and ultimate demise. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://hayobethlehem.nl/library/book/villa-maarheeze #BookReview #Books #Reading #Nonfiction #History #TheNetherlands #20thCentury #Espionage
