World War I: A History in Documents

by Frans Coetzee, Marilyn Shevin-Coetzee

Featuring the voices of the people who lived it, World War I paints a picture of the war as it was fought by soldiers, administered by politicians, interpreted by artists and writers, and experienced by all civilians--male and female, old and young-across the world. In the United States, the
war stimulated major technological advances, provoked literary and artistic experimentation, and spurred women's suffrage. Internationally, the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman empires dissolved and Russia and Germany were wracked by revolutions that toppled their dynasties, setting the stage for
political extremism and the accession of the Bolsheviks and the Nazis. Drawing upon diaries, memoirs, fiction, poetry, song lyrics, government documents, and more, World War I is a fascinating look at the birth of the modern era.

Yes, I read a textbook unrelated to my teaching area.

Has good info but if you want to learn about ww1 than don't use America's involvement. They were only there for a year. The French and British were there from day one, fighting the Germans.
