- I thought the Great War by Peter Hart did a good job of telling the story of the rapid advances in weaponry and tactics over the course of the war. It's grim but fascinating reading.

- I've not read A World Undone (although after seeing the suggestions, I'm adding it to my to-read list). I did like Peter Hart's The Great War immensely, though, and recommend that as the best book on the actual campaigns of the war that I've read.
