The Guns of August was a good book, but I would also read The Proud Tower, which you can get together if you buy the Library of America version. I believe I posted a review here about the two books back in 2012.

For both, as I'm just spacing things out for the next four years. Own the LoA edition of Tuchman as well.

Curious, why are you so interested in WWI? Anonymous2000 - 09/04/2014 07:52:31 PM 1044 Views
I think it's because 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the war... Tom - 09/04/2014 08:08:19 PM 1127 Views
