[edit] Veracity

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.

RYP

After a quick Google search, I found non-trivial coverage of this subject in reliable sources, therefore establishing notability for the purposes of Wikipedia. I've added the articles to the external links section of the article if you would like to take a look. Regards, Skomorokh incite 20:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
