I'm looking for World War I books for a high school boy to read. Does anyone have any recommendations?

All's Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque would be pretty essential fiction reading.

The Guns of August by Barbara Tuchman and The First World War by John Keegan are very good. A good book leading up to WWI would be Dreadnought by Robert Massey. You might want to read some books on the Bolshevik Revolution, like Red October by Robert Daniels, although I have no personal experience with that one.

Good luck.
