The White War: Life and Death on the Italian Front 1915-1919 really is the single best book on the Italian Front out there, can’t recommend it enough.
The First World War by John Keegan is the single best comprehensive book of the war, and goes into more detail on the titanic struggle that was the eastern front than a lot of western works tend to, as well as great coverage of the Western Front in 1914. The Romanian, Italian and Ottoman campaigns get brief overviews, but the books inclusiveness and research value, plus its extra attention to the Eastern Front as well as above standard work on the Western Front, makes this book the go to novel for novices and people just looking for a good read.
You have to read All Is Quiet On The Western Front of course, A Farewell to Arms is also a good read.
They need to make an Axis & Allies: Spanish Civil War, I have a super long list of books for that one :-P

Or US Civil War!

Thank you all.
I am overwhelmed by the responses. I will definitely have loads of material to read even after release date. -
This is hands down the best book I have read on the War… I’ve read it about 3 times… great maps, detail analysis of every battle… just top-notch

les mémoires d’un rat and Im Westen nichts neues
it will tell you more than any history book ever could.

Myth of the great war by Mosier is one of the best books I have ever read. A real eye opener. I read Strachans book did’t enjoy as much as Myth.

Just read White Heat by John Terraine.
Many good insights and description of weapons development.
-
Just found a couple of DVDs “The Century of Warfare”; 3 or 4 episodes on WWI are very useful, a lot of info on the issues we’ve been discussing.
Can’t find it on You tube, though.
