The First World War The latest of Keegan's book, this one brings the same wonderful combination of enormous research and clear and powerful writing. His description of the events leading up to the outbreak of war are excellent. This book provides the perfect foil to The Pity of War, and I read them both together.

The Pity of War Rather than trying to cover the entire war, this book focuses on various problems, myths and misconceptions about the war. No matter what your previous views on the history of this era, this book is guaranteed to annoy, rattle and inspire you -- he has something to offend everyone's favorite theory, from left to right. Even when you don't accept his sometimes questionable conclusions, the process of getting there is well worth it.

Fiction
One of the most remarkable series in recent years, Barker tells the
story of shell shocked patients in a British mental hospital during
World War I. Based on real people like Siegfried Sassoon and
Robert Graves, the novels are exceptionally well written and thought
provoking.
