Dreadnought and Castles of Steel by Robert Massie
The Arming of Europe and the Making of World War 1 by David Herrman
Europe’s Last Summer by David Fromkin
These are the best books for understanding what led up to the war. I have more references for the actual war itself.
Thank you. I am quite interested in what lead up to the war it well as the war itself
Bump for the two Massie books. They are superb.
