Can /lit/ recommend me some good books about the first world war? I find that it to be a really interesting time in history, both in and outside of the conflict.

While lurking I've seen people speak highly of pic related, would it be a good start?

Oh yes, reading that now and it is an amazing read. Slow at the start but then it flows so wonderfully. Just harrowing what the author went through.

Goodbye to All That, by Robert Graves. Autobiographical, and absolutely horrific.
