I liked War Walks too but I prefer analytical history. I was surprised that all the guff written about Mons and Le Cateau isn't from the official history, which is quite muted.

I once annoyed people at the Derriford Hospital pharmacy dept in Plymouth by reading Bullock (2nd edition) and Taylor at the same time. Much of Bullock's narrative comes from Konrad Heiden and I quite liked it, reading on a coach from London to Plymouth but I read it backwards, the last section first and the first section last.

Stone wrote a good book on the Eastern Front in the Great War, considering the archives closed to 'western' historians.
