Dick schoof Authors: Lamyae Aharouay ISBN: 9789492754752 Publisher: Brooklyn Publication date: 14th November 2025 Paperback 128 pages
Book Description (English translation): Hardly anyone knew Dick Schoof before he became Prime Minister. This is the first full-scale portrait of the first non-party affiliated Prime Minister of the Netherlands since 1918. NRC editors Lamyae Aharouay and Petra de Koning show us who the man is who — since the summer of 2024 — has been desperately trying to keep his cabinet together. Which ultimately doesn’t succeed for very long. For decades he served as a top civil servant: invisible to the outside world. In a sharp and compelling portrait, the authors describe how he grew up in Santpoort and Hengelo and was driven by a single aim: to rise higher as a bureaucrat, again and again. And how he ended up as the Prime Minister of the very first cabinet in which the PVV became the largest party.
