| | DNK Amazon Store :: Complete Idiot's Guide to World War I |
 | | It's easy to read, covers every aspect of the war concisely, defines a lot of technical terms, throws in some apt quotes, gives you a "Who's Who of WW I," and makes sense of what was a brutal, boring, but earth-shattering event. |
 | | Most of what happened of interest in the war was during the first month in which the Germans made a huge sweep through Belgium and France -- the Schlieffen Plan -- and nearly won all the marbles in a single turn. |
 | | A couple of chapters at the end discuss the aftermath of WW I, the "lost generation," the League of Nations, and all the other factors that made WW I the opening act for WW II. |
