Robert Bellin is one of the best chess writers there is. Everything he has done (Test Your Positional Play, the "Mastering" opening series, etc.) is of the utmost instructional content. He never forgets that he is teaching you. This book on the Dutch is as good as his other stuff. He guides you along so that you can play the opening with confidence and understanding, cognizant of the risks, the rewards, the plans for bothe sides, and everything else you need to play an opening. The Dutch is a great, exciting opening. It was what Morphy played most against 1. d4. Get this book.
