Neil McDonald is known as a positional player. His presentation is not only lucid for Dutch itself, but a few ideas can be transferred to similar pawn structures.
I was able to transpose to some variations of the French and KID, depending on which was relevant, and play more strategically than tactically. The main reason I am giving this book up is because I have realized myself to be able to use the Tal style more so than the Karpov one, though I can theoretically appreciate both:)
I think you are going to learn much from this book regardless, I know I did.
