This is about the misbegotten "operation Black Tulip" that was intended to deport a number of so-called "Reichsdeutsche" (the Nazi- German term for German nationals living in foreign countries during the war) to occupied Germany. The first thing the book gets wrong is that these were *not* Dutch citizens of German ancestry, but Germans who had collaborated with their countrymen during the war and lived high on the hog while real Dutchmen were starving. But even then it would have been wrong to treat them this way. And that is why opposition from the Dutch population prevented its implementation. So nothing happened. But the book describes it as a real fact. "Those awful Dutch." In the same section reference is made to the fact that the Dutch ate tulips during the German-caused "Dutch Famine" of the winter of 1944. One would expect an explanatory link between the two facts, but the tulip eating is presented as just a Dutch quirk; the famine is not mentioned. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Thought provoking *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2018* My mother was a survivor from WWII who suffered through a stay in the Siberian Gulag along with millions of others. I loved the book’s concept: to weave a tapestry of different kinds of stories set at the end of the war. One prominent theme is the continuation of Nazism. I learned a lot but some of the recurring story lines were less interesting to follow and seemed somewhat random. However, this book has awakened deep interest in me on the topic of the immediate postwar period in Europe. It also made me realize that our present is linked to what was happening in 1947. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Slow start, but masterful! *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2018* I bought this book after hearing it reviewed on NPR. We are fascinated with war era literature. This is covers a landmark year post WWII and succinctly portrays the fractured disarray of the shift in world politics, geographical boarders, music paradigms and UFO's in a world that was trying to decide who they were after entire countries were left in rubble. It started a bit slow and it took me a bit to catch on to the format, but as the characters, events and plots unfold, I was absolutely hooked. I couldn't put it down! The events are revealed in a masterful way. I'll be hunting up other works by this author! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61038999-1947-where-now-begins](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61038999-1947-where-now-begins) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
