Peter Hart - The Great War

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0190227354

Peter Hart has a lot of books discussing WWI from big overviews to much more detailed coverage of different theaters of the war.

Martin Gilbert - The First World War

https://www.amazon.com/First-World-War-Complete-History/dp/0805076174

This is one of my favorite books on the subject of the war as a whole.

These two authors are two of the most referenced in The Great War YouTube channel, but there is so much more information in the books.

Yes, it moved a lot, especially on the eastern Front. Check out the book "The Great War" for more info: https://www.amazon.com/Great-War-Combat-History-First/dp/0190227354/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497244781&sr=8-2&keywords=the+great+war. This is a great book.

Here is a playlist from The Great War channel that shows you all of their videos in chronological order. They are currently covering World War I week by week as it happened. Think of it as sort of a video newspaper that comes out every week telling you what is currently happening 100 years ago during the war. They also make special episodes like Q&As and biographies of important/famous people during the war.

If you want a book, I highly recommend The Great War by Peter Hart, he goes into great detail on the major battles and even provides accounts given by the soldiers.

As for podcast, Dan Carlin's Hardcore History is amazing, but I feel like you have to have some prior knowledge on the war in order to fully appreciate it and not be completely lost on what he's talking about.

Good luck!
