| | 1. |  | The Guns of August
from Presidio Press
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
I didn't even bother to finish this book because, although i tried to read it and fell asleep on pretty much every other page, the writing was convoluted and stuffy, the "action" (was there any?) was slow, and I just couldn't bring myself to care about anything this author had to say. A unanimous... 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

| | 5. |  | Storm of Steel (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
STORM OF STEEL offers WWI from a German soldier's point of view, but Erich Maria Remarque it ain't. All told, author Ernst Junger was shot multiple times, yet would live not only to write this book (and many others) but to celebrate his 103rd birthday (attended by an unusually patient Grim... more info

| | 6. |  | The Great War and Modern Memory
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $12.89
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

| | 7. |  | The First World War
from Vintage
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
which may be the point. Keegan is a very reliable historian. He takes a steady, thoughtful, thorough approach to the build up to the first world war and then leads his readers step by long step through the war. While readers will find little to argue with I will venture to guess that they will find... more info

| | 8. |  | The Price of Glory: Verdun 1916
from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
. Alistair Horne's The Price of Glory is a superbly written and haunting account of the horrendous battle at Verdun in 1916 between the French and German Armies. The Germans consciously attacked the fortress system they knew the French would defend in order to bleed the French Army to death, which,... more info

| | 10. |  | The Zimmermann Telegram
from Ballantine Books
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
World War I has receded into the fog of history for most Americans - recent surveys show that the average American knows as much about The Great War as they do the War of 1812 or the Spanish-American War. In other words, not much.
Barbara Tuchman's "The Zimmerman Telegram" is a perfect remedy... more info
