In his books on blood transfusion (1982 and 1993) he criticized the commercialization of human blood and plasma components.[2] In 2010, he published a biography of Dutch politician Pieter Jelles Troelstra,[3] for which he was awarded the triennial Dr. Joast Halbertsmaprijs in the Dutch province of Friesland in 2012.[4] His overview of colonial wars in Indonesia (2018) offers a new perspective on the past five centuries: military violence was the backbone of colonialism.[5]
