This listing is a fantasy. It should be deleted or at least have facts or even citations to support its premise.
Of the two resources listed one is my book (which is not about war tourism) and the other is a site for people who visit ancient European fortifications. The myt of the "war tourist" someone who takes a vacation in an active war zone and somehow replicates the Victorian era idea of watching battles is a fiction of the media.

Rupertrupertrupert has inserted a section about this book. The idea that one book happening to mention a subject is sufficient to justify giving coverage to the book in the article needs justification. The book is not central to the subject. I therefore deleted the section. Rupertrupertrupert restored the section, without giving any reason, and indeed gave the edit summary "Added section abt. treatment of war tourism in fiction", as though it were a new addition. If there is a justification for this, perhaps an explanation can be given here. Also, even if it is held that the book's dealing with the subject is notable, it is difficult to see how "The novel was very well received when published" belongs here: that may be significant information about the book, but scarcely significant information about the subject of the article.
