Iron Kingdom by Chris Clark, it's a general history of Prussia but its based as fuck. Go read it.

I don't know too much either, but go check Maupassant and La Dernière Classe by Alphonse Daudet.

Do you want fiction or history? Boule de Suif springs to mind.

wikipedia articles usually have a few literary recommendations, it's always a good start if /lit/ can't help you.

The Fall of Paris by Alistair Horne
has some background on the war but mostly concentrates on the siege of Paris and The Paris Commune

Seconding 'Boule de Suif'. For some reason, that short story made a strong impression on me. I dare say that I'll remember it for as long as I live. Remarkable.

Boule de Suif by Maupassant
L'Année terrible by Hugo
Sac au dos by Huysmans
And some poems of Rimbaud

this is great fiction as well, as is most of Maupassant.
