Description: The story of Ypres, the series of devastating battles at the heart of Britain and her Empire's experience of the First World War: how they were fought, how they have been remembered, and what they mean for us today.
Review Quotes: "Ypres and its legacy include both the best and worst of human nature--courage, bravery, heroism, and sacrifice mixed with fear, hatred, savagery, destruction, and death."--Francis Sempa, The New York Journal of Books
"The authors' analysis of battlefield tourism and its political implications among the former belligerents is particularly fascinating." --F. Krome, CHOICE
