The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman
This is about the political and diplomatic machinations leading up to and just after the beginning of the first world war. It’s a fascinating character study of the major players as well
The Zimmerman Telegram by Barbara Tuchman
This is about the one telegram that tipped the scales and brought the United States into the first world war.
A Storm in Flanders by Winston Groom.
Yes, this is the same Winston Groom who is the author of Forrest Gump. He brings a novelist’s eye to fighting on the Western front in World War I. It is an excellent book.
