Walter's History of Belgium

"The history of Belgium is the history of Europe. It is a country that has been involved in most of the political machinations and territorial disputes on the continent, usually as an unfortunate pawn. Its strategic location, its natural wealth, and its bad luck have conspired to make it a trading piece in the game of European dominion. For an American, the list of ruling parties is bewildering and unfamiliar, but fascinating, nonetheless. Understanding the history of Belgium, like that of any culture or country, vastly adds to one’s appreciation of the area when one visits."
