The Eastern Front, 1914-1917 by Stone, Norman. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780684144924.

Without question one of the classics of post-war historical scholarship, Stones boldly conceived and brilliantly executed book opened the eyes of a generation of young British historians raised on tales of the Western trenches to the crucial importance of the Eastern Front in the First World War - Niall Ferguson. Scholarly, lucid, entertaining, based on a thorough knowledge of Austrian and Russian sources, it sharply revises traditional assumptions about the First World War - Michael Howard.
