WWI fascinates me. The book below contains first hand accounts from throughout the war in the form of letters, testimonials, etc. The newer version that I have not read contains additional information.

Some trivia not in the book: WWI is claiming victims to this day via unexploded ordinance in Europe.

Go to Verdun if you haven't yet had the chance.

Mercy.

Ditto. No other event since perhaps the discovery of the New World has done more to mold the world in which we live today than WWI. I've spent over 30 years studying this war and I'm still fascinated any time I find any new material on it. I must check this out.

Another first hand account is a book named Harry's War. I am reading it now. It was written by Harry Drinkwater. Good read so far.
