| | 1. |  | The Guns of August
from Presidio Press
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
This book describes one of the most incredible examples where rigidity of thinking and planning led to events spiraling totally out of control. It also demonstrates how it is a very rare occasion that the consequences of a war are anywhere close to the belief of the people that started it. Although... more info

| | 2. |  | Paris 1919: Six Months That Changed the World
from Random House Trade Paperbacks
Price: $12.21
Customer Review:
This work is all about the treaty that brought World War One to a close. It's also takes a detailed look at the various, (and often, "nefarious"), world leaders who were the principals in fleshing out that final agreement which, by the way, was never ratified by the U.S, Congress.
I especially... more info

| | 3. |  | Storm of Steel (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.50
Customer Review:
This is an amazing book to read. Junger was a stormtrooper--the German soldiers who lead the first wave into the trenches--for something like four years. It seems extraordinary that anyone could have survived such a holocaust, let alone four years of it. There is very little in the way of emotional... more info

Customer Review:
Another must-read for anyone interested in great literature. From the sublime to the mundane, Fussell is most fascinating. This can be a fairly quick read -- perhaps a long weekend for most, but then you will find yourself returning to re-read certain chapters, and it will definitely end up on your... more info

| | 6. |  | The First World War
from Vintage
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
Leaving aside Keegan's leaden prose style, the major problem I have with this (original hardcopy edition, 1998) is the of the lack of maps. Because of this I got no further than the chapter dealing with the Battle of the Frontiers and the Marne. It's very frustrating to be told in great detail about... more info

| | 10. |  | Attacks
from Athena Pr
Price: $17.50
Customer Review:
Erwin Rommel first learned his trade in the Great War as an Infantry commander. In this work he discusses individual actions he took part in and the lessons he learned regarding modern combat. Most of these lessons are still relevent today, which shows just how observant he was.
The book is... more info
