 This is THE World War 1 book. This is the first of a 3 part series that examines World War 1 in it's entirety. I've read it cover to cover, and it boggles my mind how much this man knows about World war 1.  Everyone who ever studies World war 1 should read this. It's a fast paced book on the beginning of the war, the players involved, and how it devolved into the poo poo show we all learned about. Just a solid read. I was recently in Hawaii and just bought Hawaii Under the Rising Sun, and have to say that it makes some pretty bold claims (mostly that the Japanese were capable of invading Hawaii, when everything I've read has said the contrary). It does do a good job of highlighting some of the major Japanese influences throughout the 20th century leading up the Pacific war, but I think it's kind of aimless overall.

This is an excellent book on the crusades. the last book I read was God's War, and that was an overly harsh read. Very academic. This one was a lot more enjoyable.
