Very good book for those interested. I have it in Swedish, but I suppose it's just as good in English. Takes up the entire war, not just the Western front. Everything really, from the Sea battles to the development of airwarfare. Admittedly, I believe it contains somewhat more information about the Western front than any other area, but I can't really see anything strange in that...

I think the worst piece of information I've ever heard regarding this war was some statistics about the Battle of the Somme. Apparently, comparing the British losses to the amount of ground they gained during those 6 months, you'll see that the British army lost two men for every centimeter ground they conquered. That. is. Insane!
