    "description": "<h2>A thrilling biography of a lovable hero of war</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Madurodam is unique in the Netherlands, as its first and only miniature city <em>and</em> as a war memorial. Because that&rsquo;s what it is. It&rsquo;s a cheerful monument in remembrance of a buoyant man who was born in 1916 in Curacao and who died from typhus at Dachau in 1945. Nowadays, the monument is world-renowned and attracts millions of visitors, but George Maduro, a legend in his days, has been largely forgotten. <em>Knight without fear and beyond reproach</em> tells the long-forgotten story of one of the greatest heroes of war the Netherlands has ever seen.</p>\n<p>Kathleen Brand-Carey tells the story of George Maduro&rsquo;s short but eventful life with a knack for describing atmosphere and in great detail: the exotic life in Curacao, high-placed friends in The Hague and Leyden, his bittersweet love life, occupied Holland and the resistance. The 'Maduro' of Madurodam turns out to be a complex, lovable and inspiring young man, who valued ideals over his own personal safety and who never lost hope &ndash; not even in the most miserable of circumstances.</p>\n<p><strong>Kathleen Brandt-Carey</strong> is the author of several books, and a distant relative of George Maduro.</p>",
