Any of several excellent books by the British historian Lyn MacDonald are well worth the effort to track down.

They Called It Passchendaele
The Roses of No Man's Land
Somme
1914: The Days of Hope
1914-1918: Voices and Images of the Great War
1915: The Death of Innocence
To the Last Man: Spring 1918

Adam Hochschild's "To End All Wars" covers the war on the European home fronts and tells many stories the battlefield histories have ignored.
