>The Guns of August
It's a bit dated now. I would recommend The Sleepwalkers from Christopher Clark instead, but bear in mind this is a book about events before WW1 and it contains a shitton of details. As for a good general overview of the war, A World Undone by G.J. Meyer worked for me. Then go for specific books addressing fronts and battles that interest you the most.

Thanks for the recommendations, Anon. Probably gonna read them in this order: Sleepwalkers > Guns of August > World Undone. Got some comfy nights ahead for me!

dunno about the actual war years but i recommend paris 1919 for the aftermath

In literature the works of Erich Maria Remarque are essential

The first world war by John Keagan is a very good start. Guns of August is a good start as well.
