Here's a couple of more titles...
"The Last Hundred Yards", this one is a intro guide for USMC NCOs, useful since it breaks down a lot of the leadership tasks into easy to digest blocks. Very useful for non-military players to get a feel for how things work.
"The Myth of the Great War, How the Germans Won the Battles and How the Americans Saved the Allies." By John Mosier. Title says it all, its a well researched book by an author who took the time to research the German, French, and Italian military archives. His conclusions will certainly send any Anglophile into near-earth orbit. Everything from the Allied High Command lying to the civilian government, to mislabeling maps as to exactly where the front lines are. Take the time to set down and read it, then research his sources.....it certainly leaves you questioning some of the popular myths of WWI....
