The British soldier of the First World War by Peter Doyle

An excellent introduction into what a soldier would experience when joining up or conscripted to World War I. It does not cover the battles but the daily way of life, including many illustrations and photographs.

First World War Britain: 1914-1919 (Shire Living Histories) by Peter Doyle

I am interested in Britain on the home front during the wars as I like to get an idea of what life was like for my grandparents and great grandparents during this time. The Shire Living Histories are great for this as they are well written and give a great overview of life at the time. They also have lots of photos to illustrate the topics. All that in a small and readable package. Highly recommended.
