Anet Bleich

Anet Bleich (born 2 September 1951) is a Dutch journalist, political commentator, author, columnist and writer.

[3] Many years later Anet Bleich confided to a student-interviewer that when she was ten she had dreamed of growing up to become a "professional revolutionary, like Rosa Luxemburg".

[4] Subsequently, she attended the Gymnasium Haganum where she was at one stage "editor in chief" of the school magazine, Spectemur Agendo.

[9] Bleich spent ten years as an editor with De Groene Amsterdammer, a long-established left-leaning weekly news magazine produced in Amsterdam.

[12] The work was supervised by Piet de Rooy and can be seen as the first biography of Den Uyl based on archive material and interviews with individuals involved.

It also featured on the front pages of mainstream newspapers in the Netherlands because of disclosures in it concerning the covering-up by Den Uyl of Prince Bernhard's involvement in the so-called Northrop affair back in 1976.
