'''Alan Forrest'''. ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0199663254/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0199663254&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=62ba70bf374992b31bc6e0e9309d306a Waterloo]''(Oxford University Press, )
The Battle of Waterloo has cast a long shadow over Europe. It ended the French Empire and Napoleon's aspirations and it significantly altered the direction of Europe. Unsurprisingly, the meaning and significance of Waterloo are different for all of the countries that participated in the battle. Alan Forrest walks through the reader through the battle but explores the consequences and the interpretations of Waterloo. Forrest answers how we remember Waterloo. Britain, France, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands all view Waterloo through different a lens.
'''Mark Connelly and Stefan Goebel'''. ''[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HCBFHRM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07HCBFHRM&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=b07788ff847e58b65bdba43ff75c228b Ypres]'' (Oxford Univesity Press, )
The Battle of Ypres was one of the most devasting and destructive battles of World War I. Mark Connelly and Stefan Goebel not walk readers through the battle itself, but explore the ways in which Ypres has been understood and interpreted by Britain and the Commonwealth, Belgium, France, and Germany, including the variants developed by the Nazis. People from different countries have struggled to impose their own narratives on the city and the region around it to make sense of the carnage from a national perspective. Significantly, Ypres has become the heart of the World War I battle tourism especially for tourists from Britain and other Commonwealth countries.
