Here is an FPRI panel with three scholars giving talks on on the First World War. The whole thing is worth your time. The first covers just how unexpected the disaster was and why that was. The second talk (25 and a half minutes in) is also quite interesting, with Rutger's Kate Epstein debunking some long held misconceptions about the British Empire's position and strategy at the beginning of the war. To me the third is particularly fascinating. In it, John R. Schindler (who blogs at Double Cross Committee) goes into detail about role Austria-Hungary played in the genesis of the catastrophe. That one starts about 43 minutes in.

In people's heads, WWI seems to be associated more with stereotypes than facts, sad to say.

Right now it's called <A HREF="http://www.thegreatwaranovel.com/p/volume-one.html">The Great War</a>, but I don't know if he'll be changing the title.
