What is your opinion on The Guns of August? I'm still looking for a good book on World War I.

I liked it a lot, it is really good. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to learn about WW I. Also highly recommended is Dan Carlin's 6 part podcast series Blueprint for Armageddon Here is the link to episode I http://www.dancarlin.com/product/hardcore-history-50-bluepri...
Thanks for the info, I've added it to my to-read list.
The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914 by Christopher Clark already seems to be a classic. Didn't read it yet, though.
How about All Quiet on the Western Front.
On my list for next year as well.....
