This is a very good book, especially for a more passive reader of history. It is relatively short and sticks to the major events during the war and does not get into meticulous details. The format is standardized with each chapter focusing on a particular year. The majority of each focues on the Western front but each chapter also details events on the Eastern, Italian, and Naval fronts. For anyone looking to increase their knowledge of WWI, I would recommend reading this first and if a particular event, campaign, etc. interests you, go get another book specifically written on that topic.
